Level Shifting

Famous quotes containing the words level and/or shifting:

“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)

“Men are only too clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
