Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:
“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“That book is good
Which puts me in a working mood.
Unless to Thought be added Will
Apollo is an imbecile.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
