Responsible

Famous quotes containing the word responsible:

    ...men give us most rarely that which we really want, not favor, but—Justice. Nothing is easier than to coax them to pet us like children, nothing more difficult than to persuade them to treat us like responsible human beings.
    Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)

    Mothers who are strong people, who can pursue a life of their own when it is time to let their children go, empower their children of either gender to feel free and whole. But weak women, women who feel and act like victims of something or other, may make their children feel responsible for taking care of them, and they can carry their children down with them.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    Raising human beings is a process of teaching children right from wrong and turning them into responsible individuals.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
