Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

    I apologize for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for hiding my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you are a sadistic, degenerate old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    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)

    If we parents accept that problems are an essential part of life’s challenges, rather than reacting to every problem as if something has gone wrong with universe that’s supposed to be perfect, we can demonstrate serenity and confidence in problem solving for our kids....By telling them that we know they have a problem and we know they can solve it, we can pass on a realistic attitude as well as empower our children with self-confidence and a sense of their own worth.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
