Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

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

    Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbor’s advice? There is a nearer neighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is “misunderstood” or that he is “different”; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
