Helping

Famous quotes containing the word helping:

    ...as for helping me in the outside world, the Convent taught me only that if you spit on a pencil eraser, it will erase ink.

    It may be that through habit these do best,
    Coming to water clumsily undressed
    Yearly; teaching their children by a sort
    Of clowning; helping the old, too, as they ought.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework—an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self- sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
    Betty Friedan (b. 1921)
