Famous quotes containing the word team:
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
—Chinese proverb.
