Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Barbara Tuchman, January 30, 1912 - February 6, 1989 http://www.wisdomquotes.com/cat_books.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Tuchman Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me. Anna Quindlen, July 8 1952 - http://www.wisdomquotes.com/cat_children.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Quindlen Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. Anne Frank, June 12, 1929 - March 1945 http://www.wisdomquotes.com/cat_children.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Frank
