Famous quotes containing the word temper:
“The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of one’s image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known child’s body.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.”
—William James (1842–1910)
