Famous quotes containing the words short and/or hitting:
“The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“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)
