Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:

    “The rank is but the guinea stamp—
    The man’s the gowd for a’ that!”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
    —Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
