Standard Values

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or values:

    Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
