Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or vessel:
“Todays pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase early ripe, early rot!”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine loveevery man works his oar voluntarily!”
—St. Francis De Sales (15671622)
