Temporary Company Commanders

Famous quotes containing the words temporary and/or company:

“Managing a tantrum involves nothing less than the formation of character. Even the parent’s capacity to cope well with conflict can improve with this experience. When a parent knows he is right and does not give in for the sake of temporary peace, everybody wins. The parent learns that denying some pleasure does not create a neurotic child and the child learns that she can survive momentary frustration.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“More company increases happiness, but does not lighten or diminish misery.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
