Centurion/role

Famous quotes containing the words centurion and/or role:

    When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.”
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:47.

    Of course, some men are very effective caregivers [of elderly parents]. But this situation occurs far less frequently for males than females, because it is a role reversal. For women, caregiving is an expected duty; for men, it is an unexpected expression of love or devotion.
    Tish Sommers (20th century)
