Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences, scottish and/or irish:

    The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    Our noble King, King Henery the eighth,
    Ouer the riuer of Thames past hee.
    —Unknown. Sir Andrew Barton. . .

    The Irish say your trouble is their
    trouble and your
    joy their joy? I wish
    I could believe it;
    I am troubled, I’m dissatisfied, I’m Irish.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
