Resolve

Famous quotes containing the word resolve:

    If the child knows the rewards and punishments in advance and knows that his parents will stick to them, the parents can actually empathize with the child’s plight while, at the same time, creating a firm sense of structure.... Your child will sense your resolve and your empathywhether you do this with words or just a sense of warmth.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    Resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other occupation, rather than one in the choosing of which you do, in advance, consent to be a knave.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
