Hitting Home Runs

Famous quotes containing the words hitting, home and/or runs:

“The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“Unpleasantness outside is easy to bear, but nagging at home is hard on the ear.”
—Chinese proverb.

“There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in black women. It’s as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet.”
