Famous quotes containing the words working, memory and/or capacity:

    If the devil were to offer me a resurgence of what is commonly called virility, I’d decline. “Just keep my liver and lungs in good working order,” I’d reply, “so I can go on drinking and smoking!”

    ‘I’m sorry that I spelt the word:
    I hate to go above you,
    Because’Mthe brown eyes lower fell—

    Still memory to a grey-haired man
    That sweet child-face is showing.
    Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
    Have forty years been growing.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    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)
