Famous quotes containing the words social, aspects, effects and/or children:

    “I wasn’t driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    “The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    “Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “The inability to control our children’s behavior feels the same as not being able to control it in ourselves. And the fact is that primitive behavior in children does unleash primitive behavior in mothers. That’s what frightens mothers most. For young children, even when out of control, do not have the power to destroy their mothers, but mothers who are out of control feel that they may destroy their children.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
