    Our passions are most like to floods and streams,
    The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)

    The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!
    —Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
