Famous quotes containing the word swimming:
“Whenever parents become overly invested in a particular skill or accomplishment, a childs fear of failure multiplies. This is why some children refuse to get into the pool for a swimming lesson, or turn their back on Daddys favorite sport.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in ones inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mothers grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (18741964)
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false valueswhether presented on television or in real life. The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some high to feel worthwhile.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
