Famous quotes containing the words planned, capital and/or cities:

    Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.

    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
