Famous quotes containing the words parents of, parents, prime, ministers and/or canada:

    “The child who would be an adult must forgive the parents for all the ways they didn’t raise him or her just right, whether their errors were in loving too much or too little. All parents, as parents of adults, do deflating things that make you feel like a child. If you have children, you’ll do those things too and eventually laugh about them.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)

    “However painful the process of leaving home, for parents and for children, the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.”
    —Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)

    “One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius; he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced; he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome; he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
    Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
    Are all but ministers of Love,
    And feed his sacred flame.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
