Famous quotes containing the words object and/or focus:
“The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of the common man.”
—William, Lord Beveridge (1879–1963)
“If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
