There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.

Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word "human."

If responsibility for the upbringing of children is to continue to be vested in the family, then the rights of children will be secured only when parents are able to make a living for their families with so little difficulty that they may give their best thought and energy to the child's development and the problem of helping it adjust itself to the complexities of the modern environment.
