Famous quotes containing the words forms of, forms and/or handicaps:

    No rent-roll nor army-list can dignify skulking and dissimulation: and the first point of courtesy must always be truth, as really all the forms of good-breeding point that way.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    ... many American Jews have a morbid tendency to exaggerate their handicaps and difficulties. ... There is no doubt that the Jew ... has to be twice as good as the average non- Jew to succeed in many a field of endeavor. But to dwell upon these injustices to the point of self-pity is to weaken the personality unnecessarily. Every human being has handicaps of one sort or another. The brave individual accepts them and by accepting conquers them.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
