Famous quotes containing the word behavior:

    “The abdication of Belief
    Makes the Behavior small—
    Better an ignis fatuus
    Than no illume at all.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    “If parents award freedom regardless of whether their children have demonstrated an ability to handle it, children never learn to see a clear link between responsible behavior and adult privileges.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
