Famous quotes containing the word benefits:

    It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.
    J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)

    In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well. The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
