Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.
    Louise Hart (20th century)

    But the divinest poem, or the life of a great man, is the severest satire.... The greater the genius, the keener the edge of the satire.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
