Famous quotes containing the words constant, false, alarm and/or rate:

    Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)

    About two hundred pounds a year.
    And that which was proved true before
    Prove false again? Two hundred more.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    Dignity takes alarm at the unexpected sound of laughter.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)
