Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “The wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
