Famous quotes containing the words common, crop and/or factors:
“The greatest waste of time he knew of was to count the hourswhat good can come of it?and the greatest illusion in the world, to lead ones day by the sound of the clock, and not by precepts of common sense and understanding.”
—François Rabelais (14941553)
“Her crop was a miscellany
When all was said and done,
A little bit of everything,
A great deal of none.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We dont speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
