Assume

Famous quotes containing the word assume:

    I shall assume that your silence gives consent.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    Never assume one child is always the victim and the other the aggressor. Remember, no matter how things appear, it takes two to tango. If you look closely enough ... you will see how the victim subtly provokes the aggressor into attacking.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    It’s frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself.... It seems unfair. You can’t assume the responsibility for everything you do—or don’t do.
    Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)
