Control Measures

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or measures:

“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“thou mayst know,
That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
That measures all our time;”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
