Famous quotes containing the words fields, active and/or research:
“I dont pop my cork for evry guy I see.”
—Dorothy Fields (19041974)
“True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If weve learned anything from the past half-centurys research on child development, its that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
