Hippopotamus/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words hippopotamus and/or behavior:

    Wildly dissimilar
    yet actuated by the same fear,

    hide by the same river.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
