Famous quotes containing the words practice and/or statement:

    Children also need opportunities to practice being less than perfect. They can afford to be ill tempered with us because it is our love that is most constant. This is the essence of unconditional love.... Our steadfast love provides a safe haven.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
