Famous quotes containing the words step and/or testing:
“We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
