Permanently Dependent Child

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

    I asked myself, “Is it going to prevent me from getting out of here? Is there a risk of death attached to it? Is it permanently disabling? Is it permanently disfiguring? Lastly, is it excruciating?” If it doesn’t fit one of those five categories, then it isn’t important.
    Rhonda Cornum, United States Army Major. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, “Perspectives” page (July 13, 1992)

    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)

    None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much.
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
