“A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)

“From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.”
—Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)

“From time immemorial the men of the town have been famous seamen, and have divided their energies between fishing and hating the English.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)

“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast....

—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
