Famous quotes containing the words short and/or hitting:
“Lord, what a change within us one short hour
Spent in Thy presence will avail to make!”
—Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
“The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
