Famous quotes containing the words white and/or home:
“The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us. On either side, the primeval forest stretches away uninterrupted to Canada, or to the South Sea; to the white man a drear and howling wilderness, but to the Indian a home, adapted to his nature, and cheerful as the smile of the Great Spirit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“To be motivated to sit at home and study, instead of going out and playing, children need a sense of themselves over timethey need to be able to picture themselves in the future.... If they cant, then theyre simply reacting to daily events, responding to the needs of the momentfor pleasure, for affiliation, for acceptance.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
