Famous quotes containing the words hit, songs and/or ruby:

    “You don’t hit a child when you want him to stop hitting. You don’t yell at a children to get them to stop yelling. Or spit at a child to indicate that he should not spit. Of course, you want children to know how to sympathize with others and to “know how it feels,” but you ... have to show them how to act—not how not to act.”
    —Jeannette W. Galambos (20th century)

    “Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “It is better to be looked over than overlooked.”
