Famous quotes containing the words man and/or standing:
“The man who takes the liberty to live is superior to all the laws, by virtue of his relation to the lawmaker.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is neither possible nor desirable to be always attuned to the moods of children because this thwarts their need to test and enrich their individuality by standing up to adult authority. What is possible and desirable is to cultivate an attitude of partnership: to be willing to listen, acknowledge that parents and children at times have different goals, try to reconcile the differences, and agree to disagree if this is not possible.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
