Mental Force

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or force:

“A method of child-rearing is not—or should not be—a whim, a fashion or a shibboleth. It should derive from an understanding of the developing child, of his physical and mental equipment at any given stage, and, therefore, his readiness at any given stage to adapt, to learn, to regulate his behavior according to parental expectations.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

“Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.”
—William James (1842–1910)
