Voice

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    Living by basic good-mothering guidelines enables a mom to blend the responsibilities of parenthood with its joys; to know when to stand her ground and when to be flexible; and to absorb the lessons of the parenting gurus while also trusting her inner voice when it reasons that another cookie isn’t worth fighting over, or that her child won’t suffer irreparable trauma if, once in a while, Mom puts her own needs first.
    Sue Woodman (20th century)

    We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a Boon. Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles everything. Some think it the Voice of God.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
