Famous quotes containing the words public and/or research:

    The public easily confuses him who fishes in troubled waters with him who draws up water from the depths.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
