Famous quotes containing the words big and/or character:
“God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs. We must become more self-conscious and more explicit in our praise and reinforcement as children use unstructured play materials: “That’s good. You use your own ideas....” “That’s good. You did it your way....” “That’s good. You thought it all out yourself.””
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
