Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or achievements:

    “What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
