Famous quotes containing the words john and/or allan:

    “In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
