Poor Children

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or children:

“We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

“Important as fathers are, their influence on children shouldn’t be exaggerated just because they were ignored so long. There is no evidence that there is something especially good about fathers as caretakers. There are no areas where it can be said that fathers must do certain things in order to achieve certain outcomes in children. The same goes for mothers.”
—Michael Lamb (late–20th century)
