Demonstrate

Famous quotes containing the word demonstrate:

    A thousand moral paintings I can show

    More pregnantly than words.

    We feign pity when we want to demonstrate our ascendancy over feelings of hostility: but usually in vain. Whenever we notice this, there is an accompanying surge in those hostile sensations.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    You and your spouse should consider the arguments you have, not as calamities in the history of your child’s development, but as opportunities for learning. Take the opportunity to teach your children the art of and value in negotiation, and to demonstrate your ability to empathize, your willingness to compromise, and your readiness to apologize for hurt you have inflicted on others.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)
