Young Lions Cup

Famous quotes containing the words young, lions and/or cup:

    Certainly, words can be as abusive as any blow. . . . When a three-year-old yells, “You’re so stupid! What a dummy!” it doesn’t carry the same weight as when a mother yells those words to a child. . . . Even if you don’t physically abuse young children, you can still drive them nuts with your words.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    No stout
    Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
    No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
    To holler down the lions in this air.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
