Famous quotes containing the word results:

    If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.
    Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    Being a parent is unlike any previous job—the results of any one action are not clearly visible for a long time, if at all.
    —Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 2 (1981)

    Life and language are alike sacred. Homicide and verbicide—that is, violent treatment of a word with fatal results to its legitimate meaning, which is its life—are alike forbidden.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
