Platform Shoes

Famous quotes containing the words platform and/or shoes:

“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“If a child is feeling disappointed, angry, or afraid about something, you can be sympathetic and understanding. But you don’t need to get into your child’s shoes and become disappointed, angry, or afraid yourself. Parents help by standing by their children, not by taking over their children’s moods and feelings.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
