Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or parents:
“O take fast hold; let that light be thy guide
In this small course which birth draws out to death,”

“It’s important for parents to watch for trouble and convey to their daughters that, if it comes, they are strong enough to deal with it. Parents who send their [adolescent] daughters the message that they’ll be overwhelmed by problems aren’t likely to hear what’s really happening.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
