Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or vanity:
“For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favour singled:
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
