Cultivate

Famous quotes containing the word cultivate:

“It is neither possible nor desirable to be always attuned to the moods of children because this thwarts their need to test and enrich their individuality by standing up to adult authority. What is possible and desirable is to cultivate an attitude of partnership: to be willing to listen, acknowledge that parents and children at times have different goals, try to reconcile the differences, and agree to disagree if this is not possible.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens.”
—William, Lord Beveridge (1879–1963)

“Cultivate your Futurism. I’ll cultivate my Döblinism.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
