Famous quotes containing the words special and/or honors:

    “Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
    —Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)

    “My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.
    I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
