Hundreds

Famous quotes containing the word hundreds:

    Since civilizing children takes the better part of two decades—some twenty years of nonstop thinking, nurturing, teaching, coaxing, rewarding, forgiving, warning, punishing, sympathizing, apologizing, reminding, and repeating, not to mention deciding what to do when—I now understand that one wrong move is invariably followed by hundreds of opportunities to be wrong again.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Geroge Peatty: I’m gonna have it, Sherry. Hundreds of thousands, maybe a half million.
    Sherry Peatty: Of course you are, darling. Did you put the right address on the envelope when you sent it to the North Pole?
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and cultivate these. There are hundreds and hundreds of ways to succeed and many, many different abilities that will help you get there.
    Howard Gardner (20th century)
