Functional Role

Famous quotes containing the words functional and/or role:

    “Stay-at-home mothers, . . . their self-esteem constantly assaulted, . . . are ever more fervently concerned that their offspring turn out better so they won’t have to stoop to say “I told you so.” Working mothers, . . . their self-esteem corroded by guilt, . . . are praying their kids turn out functional so they can stop being defensive and apologetic and instead assert “See? I did do it all.””
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    “To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms.”
