Natural Allegiance

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or allegiance:

    Numerous studies have shown that those adults who feel the most frustrated by children—and the least competent as parents—usually have one thing in common.... They don’t know what behaviors are normal and appropriate for children at different stages of development. This leads them to misinterpret their children’s natural behaviors and to have inappropriate expectations, both for their children and themselves.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    Mine honesty and I begin to square.
    The loyalty well held to fools does make
    Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
    To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
    Does conquer him that did his master conquer
    And earns a place i’ the story.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
