Famous quotes containing the words major and/or rule:

    Self-esteem evolves in kids primarily through the quality of our relationships with them. Because they can’t see themselves directly, children know themselves by reflection. For the first several years of their lives, you are their major influence. Later on, teachers and friends come into the picture. But especially at the beginning, you’re it with a capital I.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    If you would rule the world quietly, you must keep it amused.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
