Military Balance

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or balance:

“The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.”

“Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.”
