Famous quotes containing the words numerous studies, numerous and/or studies:

    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.

    Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
