Higher Precedence

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or precedence:

“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

“It is difficult to separate the tapestry
From the room or loom which takes precedence over it.”
