Famous quotes containing the words solve it and/or solve:

    If we parents accept that problems are an essential part of life’s challenges, rather than reacting to every problem as if something has gone wrong with universe that’s supposed to be perfect, we can demonstrate serenity and confidence in problem solving for our kids....By telling them that we know they have a problem and we know they can solve it, we can pass on a realistic attitude as well as empower our children with self-confidence and a sense of their own worth.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
    What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
    Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
    But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
    There can be no further discussion.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
