Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or stop:
“Nor for my words shall ye forget your tears,
Or hope again for aught that I can say,
The idle singer of an empty day.”

“Nothing, neither acceptance nor prohibition, will induce a child to stop swearing overnight. Teach your child respect for himself and others, that profanity can hurt, offend, and disgust, and you’ll be doing the best you can...And save your parental giggling over mispronounced curses for after the children’s bedtime.”
—Jean Callahan (20th century)
