Famous quotes containing the words decisions and/or sovereignty:
“No one ever promised me it would be easy and it’s not. But I also get many rewards from seeing my children grow, make strong decisions for themselves, and set out on their own as independent, strong, likeable human beings. And I like who I am becoming, too. Having teenagers has made me more human, more flexible, more humble, more questioning—and, finally it’s given me a better sense of humor!”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 4 (1978)
“I think he’ll be to Rome
As is the osprey to the fish, who takes it
By sovereignty of nature.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
