Famous quotes containing the words model and/or origin:
“One of the most important things we adults can do for young children is to model the kind of person we would like them to be.”

“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil.

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
