Higher Order Terms

Famous quotes containing the words higher, order and/or terms:

    For the most part we think that there are few degrees of sublimity, and that the highest is but little higher than that which we now behold; but we are always deceived. Sublimer visions appear, and the former pale and fade away.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ‘The old order changeth, yielding place to new
    And God fulfils Himself in many ways,
    Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    It is not stressful circumstances, as such, that do harm to children. Rather, it is the quality of their interpersonal relationships and their transactions with the wider social and material environment that lead to behavioral, emotional, and physical health problems. If stress matters, it is in terms of how it influences the relationships that are important to the child.
    Felton Earls (20th century)
