Famous quotes containing the words task, force and/or report:
“Your children are not here to fill the void left by marital dissatisfaction and disengagement. They are not to be utilized as a substitute for adult-adult intimacy. They are not in this world in order to satisfy a wifes or a husbands need for love, closeness or a sense of worth. A childs task is to fully develop his/her emerging self. When we place our children in the position of satisfying our needs, we rob them of their childhood.”
—Aaron Hess (20th century)
“Teach us to live our lives with purpose and with power
for visions of a better world and for decisions hour;
To choose the way of life, reject the way of death,
until the radiant force of God fills mind and strength and breath.”
—Walter J. Mathams (19th20th centuries)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of Englands Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstaind with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Killd with report that old man eloquent;”
—John Milton (16081674)
