Famous quotes containing the words wright and/or field:

    Let us unite on the safe and sure ground of fact and experiment, and we can never err; yet better, we can never differ.
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
