Emotional Support

Famous quotes containing the words emotional and/or support:

    Most people agree that men have trouble showing hurt, jealousy, and fear but even mothers, whose wider emotional range is often taken for granted, also seem more comfortable with anger than these other “unparentlike” feelings. This is probably because several generations of mothers have now been twelve-step-programmed and pop-psychologized enough to believe that expressing hurt, fear, anxiety, or dependence will create pathological guilt in their kids.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.
    Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
