Founders Led

Famous quotes containing the words founders and/or led:

    A spot whereon the founders lived and died
    Seemed once more dear than life; ancestral trees,
    Or gardens rich in memory glorified
    Marriages, alliances, and families,
    And every bride’s ambition satisfied.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In our great concern about the mental health of children, however, we have overlooked the mental health of mothers. They have been led to believe that their children’s needs must not be frustrated, and therefore all of their own normal angers, the normal ambivalences of living, are not permissible. The mother who has “bad” feelings toward her child is a bad mother.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
