“Out of anger comes controversy, out of controversy comes conversation, out of conversation comes action.”

“... it's simply wrong to always order [kids] to stop that fighting. There are times when one child is simply defending his rights and damned well should be fighting.”

“Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.”

“Women know the way to rear up children (to be just). They know a simple, merry, tender knack of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes, and stringing pretty words that make no sense. And kissing full sense into empty words.”
