Polish Relief Fund

Famous quotes containing the words polish, relief and/or fund:

    You will have to polish up the stars
    with Bab-o and find a new God
    as the earth empties out
    into the gnarled hands of the old redeemer.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    If, as they say, God spanked the town
    For being over-frisky,
    Why did He burn all the churches down
    And spare Hotaling’s Whiskey?
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    School success is not predicted by a child’s fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children.
    Daniel Goleman (20th century)
