Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or years:

    Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.
    Louise Hart (20th century)

    The more highly public life is organized the lower does its morality sink.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    It has been years since I have seen anyone who could even look as if he were in love. No one’s face lights up any more except for political conversation.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
