Health Initiative Study

Famous quotes containing the words health, initiative and/or study:

    At last I feel the equal of my parents. Knowing you are going to have a child is like extending yourself in the world, setting up a tent and saying “Here I am, I am important.” Now that I’m going to have a child it’s like the balance is even. My hand is as rich as theirs, maybe for the first time. I am no longer just a child.
    —Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)

    A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all.
    Tacitus (c. 55–120)

    Why should I seek for love or study it?
    It is of God and passes human wit;
    I study hatred with great diligence,
    For that’s a passion in my own control,
    A sort of besom that can clear the soul
    Of everything that is not mind or sense.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
