Famous quotes containing the words command and/or prompt:

    “Ordinary time is “quality time” too. Everyday activities are not just necessities that keep you from serious child rearing: they are the best opportunities for learning you can give your child...because her chief task in her first three years is precisely to gain command of the day-to-day life you take for granted.”
    —Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)

    “Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants and to serve them one’s self, so as to have somewhat left to give, instead of being always prompt to grab?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
