Infant Mortality Rate

Famous quotes containing the words infant, mortality and/or rate:

    “To worry about spoiling an infant by comforting him when he cries is needless.... If you put the baby down and the baby cries, pick him up. His crying isn’t a habit you should try to break. Your baby can’t be taught not to cry.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.”
    —William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    ““Terence, this is stupid stuff:
    You eat your victuals fast enough;
    There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
    To see the rate you drink your beer.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
