Famous quotes containing the words work, younger and/or children:
“The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
“Harvey: You’re a hell of a lot younger than I am. And you’re a dancer.
Gillian: I’m a singer.
Harvey: Well, you dance around when you sing.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“That a good fit between parental handling and child temperament is vital to help children adapt to the imperatives of their society is a crucial concept that can be applied to other cultures.”
