Famous quotes containing the word area:

    “Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of ... every industrial area in the whole country.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
    —Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    “The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
    —Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
