Mild Severe

Famous quotes containing the words mild and/or severe:

“Faith is not sure, if you cannot turn love to quarrel; may my enemies obtain a mild mistress.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
