“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds....

—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:

These dry leaves of his autumn.”
