Road Survey

Famous quotes containing the words road and/or survey:

    Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.
    Richard Louv (20th century)
