Permanently Dependent Child

Famous quotes containing the words permanently, dependent and/or child:

    Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    People who get through life dependent on other people’s possessions are always the first to lecture you on how little possessions count.
    Ben Elton (b. 1959)

    If a child is feeling disappointed, angry, or afraid about something, you can be sympathetic and understanding. But you don’t need to get into your child’s shoes and become disappointed, angry, or afraid yourself. Parents help by standing by their children, not by taking over their children’s moods and feelings.
    Saf Lerman (20th century)
