Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or house:
“I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though its hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see hes tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, I love you, Mommy. When he says, I love you, I know that he knows that he is loved.”
—Anonymous Parent (20th century)
“It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
