Famous quotes containing the words test and/or match:

    “Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is, that it will explain all phenomena.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
