    Nathless we read your fortunes true;
    The stars may hide in the upper sky,
    But without glass we fathom you.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
    —Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
