Famous quotes containing the words relative, values, coin and/or column:

    The ungentlemanly expressions and gasconading conduct of yours relative to me yesterday was in true character of yourself and unmask you to the world and plainly show that they were ebullitions of a base mind ... and flow from a source devoid of every refined sentiment or delicate sensations.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    Washington society has always demanded less and given more than any society in this country—demanded less of applause, deference, etiquette, and has accepted as current coin quick wit, appreciative tact, and a talent for talking.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    Never have anything to do with the near surviving representatives of anyone whose name appears in the death column of the Times as having “passed away.”
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
