Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or corps:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him.

—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
