Assumption Holds

Famous quotes containing the words assumption and/or holds:

“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)

“Life every man holds dear, but the dear man
Holds honor far more precious-dear than life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
