Secret Policeman

Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or policeman:

    The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 29:29.

    An older child, one who possesses a conscience, will be troubled with self-reproaches and feelings of shame for his naughtiness, even if he is not discovered. But our two-year-olds and our three-year- olds experience guilt feelings only when they feel or anticipate disapproval from the outside. In doing this, they have taken the first steps toward the goal of conscience, but there is a long way ahead before the policeman outside becomes the policeman inside.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
