Famous quotes containing the words challenge and/or stakes:
“Our challenge as parents is to be patient enough to allow our children to take ten minutes to do something that would take us two seconds. We need to allow our children to develop what I call their “struggle muscle.” This is developed the same way any other muscle develops, through regular exercise.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
