Famous quotes containing the words stories and/or vaults:

    Kids are fascinated by stories about what they were like when they were babies and what they said and did as they grew. This sense of history and connectedness increases your children’s feelings of security and safety, and helps them build the ability to make healthy connections in the world at large.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Bankruptcy and repudiation are the springboards from which much of our civilization vaults and turns its somersets, but the savage stands on the unelastic plank of famine.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
