Support

Famous quotes containing the word support:

    Well of all things in the world, I don’t suppose anything can be so dreadful as a public wedding—my stars!—I should never be able to support it!
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    ‘Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
    But to support him after.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
