Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or based:
“Patriotism is proud of a countrys virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its countrys virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, the greatest, but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.”
—Sydney J. Harris (19171986)
“A two-parent family based on love and commitment can be a wonderful thing, but historically speaking the two-parent paradigm has left an extraordinary amount of room for economic inequality, violence and male dominance.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
