Famous quotes containing the word push:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesnt mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldnt mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“To be admitted to Natures hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Ive never seen a better seaman, but as a man hes a snake. He doesnt punish for discipline, he likes to see men crawl. Sometimes Id like to push his poison down his own throat.”
—Talbot Jennings (18961985)
