Verbal Roots Beginning

Famous quotes containing the words verbal, roots and/or beginning:

    Language fails not because thought fails, but because no verbal symbols can do justice to the fullness and richness of thought. If we are to continue talking about “data” in any other sense than as reflective distinctions, the original datum is always such a qualitative whole.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)

    The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
    —Denis Waitly. Quoted in The Winning Family, ch. 25, by Louise Hart (1987)

    Love your enemies. I saw this admonition now as simple, sensible advice. I knew I could face an angry, murderous mob without even the beginning of fear if I could love them. Like a flame, love consumes fear, and thus make true defeat impossible.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
