Famous quotes containing the words work for, work, younger and/or children:
“I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply, not into the market, not into opinion, not into patronage.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts.”
—Franco Zeffirelli (b. 1922)
“Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
