Famous quotes containing the word character:
“Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs. We must become more self-conscious and more explicit in our praise and reinforcement as children use unstructured play materials: Thats good. You use your own ideas.... Thats good. You did it your way.... Thats good. You thought it all out yourself.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
