Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

“Even to this day it is easier than it ought to be for me to get a rise out of an American by telling him something about himself which is equally true about every human being on the face of the globe. He at once resents this as a disparagement and an assertion on my part that people in other parts of the globe are not like that, and are loftily superior to such weaknesses.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Keep telling yourself and others there are no supermoms, there are only wonderful mothers.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)

“The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children they’re not going to succeed, saying: “There is life, but it’s not for you.””
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
