Sooner Quotes - page 2

Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth.

And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help. (Margaret Mead)
