Informal Persuasion

Famous quotes containing the words informal and/or persuasion:

    We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed;
    Till, ‘tween the late and early,
    Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
    To see me thro’ the barley.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
