Idle Stop

Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or stop:

    Love goes
    when he’s not around,
    goes
    when he’s around too much,
    goes
    because of idle rumor;
    goes
    all by itself.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
