Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or honors:
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
