Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or model:
“There are moments when very little truth would be enough to shape opinion. One might be hated at extremely low cost.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
