Famous quotes containing the words present and/or times:
“It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
