Famous quotes containing the words behavior and/or psychology:

    “School success is not predicted by a child’s fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children.”
    —Daniel Goleman (20th century)

    “Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is—a vice?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
