Famous quotes containing the words periodic, single and/or chain:
“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Oh yes, that’s right. They chain up wild animals. That’s all I am, an animal.”
