Putting Green

Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:

    There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.
    —Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)

    With sudden roar and aged pine-tree falls,—
    One crash, the death-hymn of the perfect tree,
    Declares the close of its green century.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
