Famous quotes containing the words retained, interest and/or valued:

    He degraded himself by the vice of drinking, which, together with a great stock of Greek and Latin, he brought away with him from Oxford and retained and practised ever afterwards.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The cohort that made up the population boom is now grown up; many are in fact middle- aged. They are one reason for the enormous current interest in such topics as child rearing and families. The articulate and highly educated children of the baby boom form a huge, literate market for books on various issues in parenting and child rearing, and, as time goes on, adult development, divorce, midlife crisis, old age, and of course, death.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    Even the hatred
    in a man
    who’s valued for his learning
    is desirable,
    but I’m shamed
    by even love
    in a person
    who’s reviled by others.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
