Famous quotes containing the words big and/or show:

    Under the Big Top, only two days count—today and tomorrow.
    Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)

    You don’t hit a child when you want him to stop hitting. You don’t yell at a children to get them to stop yelling. Or spit at a child to indicate that he should not spit. Of course, you want children to know how to sympathize with others and to “know how it feels,” but you ... have to show them how to act—not how not to act.
    Jeannette W. Galambos (20th century)
