    “One great Society alone on Earth,
    The noble Living, and the noble Dead.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Temperament is the natural, inborn style of behavior of each individual. It’s the how of behavior, not the why.... The question is not, “Why does he behave a certain way if he doesn’t get a cookie?” but rather, “When he doesn’t get a cookie, how does he express his displeasure...?” The environment—and your behavior as a parent—can influence temperament and interplay with it, but it is not the cause of temperamental characteristics.”
    —Stanley Turecki (20th century)
