American Children

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or children:

“I will put in my poems, that with you is heroism, upon land and sea—And
I will report all heroism from an American point of view.”

“The inability to control our children’s behavior feels the same as not being able to control it in ourselves. And the fact is that primitive behavior in children does unleash primitive behavior in mothers. That’s what frightens mothers most. For young children, even when out of control, do not have the power to destroy their mothers, but mothers who are out of control feel that they may destroy their children.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
