QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON UPBRINGING
To bring up a child in the way he should go -- travel that way yourself.
Josh Billings (1815-1885, American humorist, lecturer)
Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882, American poet, essayist)
It is the common error of builders and parents to follow some plan they think beautiful (and perhaps is so) without considering that nothing is beautiful that is misplaced.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762, British society figure, letter writer)
Permissiveness is the principle of treating children as if they were adults; and the tactic of making sure they never reach that stage.
Thomas Szasz (1920-, American psychiatrist)
