Famous quotes containing the word compound:
“Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isnt this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isnt it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?”

The peculiar potency of the general,
To compound the imaginations Latin with
The lingua franca et jocundissima.”
