Famous quotes containing the words von and/or center:
“We cannot shape our children according to our ideas,
We must keep and love them as God gave them to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
