Discipline isn't just punishing, forcing compliance or stamping out bad behavior. Rather, discipline has to do with teaching prope...r deportment, caring about others, controlling oneself and putting someone else's wishes before one's own when the occasion calls for it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Like nuclear power, genetic engineering is not a neutral technology. It is by its very nature too powerful for our present state o...f social and scientific development, no matter whose hands are controlling it. Just as we would say, especially after Chernobyl, that a nuclear power plant is just as dangerous in a socialist nation as it is in a capitalist one, so I would say the same thing for genetic engineering. It is inherently Eugenic in that it always requires someone to decide what is a good and a bad gene.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The very existence of government at all, infers inequality. The citizen who is preferred to office becomes the superior to those w...ho are not, so long as he is the repository of power, and the child inherits the wealth of the parent as a controlling law of society.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure; ...but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, To what end? A German public asks for a controlling sincerity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Setting limits gives your child something to define himself against. If you are able to set limits without being overly intrusive ...or controlling, you'll be providing him with a firm boundary against which he can test his own ideas.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forge...t their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your griefs may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I now have next to no hope of a restoration of the old Union.... If it is the settled and final judgment of any slave State that s...he cannot live in the Union, I should not think it wise or desirable to retain her by force, even if it could be done. But am I, therefore, to oppose the war? If it were a war of conquest merely, certainly I should oppose it.... But the war is forced on us. We cannot escape it. While ... perhaps in all the cotton-growing States, a deciding and controlling public judgment has deliberately declared against remaining in the Union, it is quite certain that in several States rebellious citizens are bent on forcing out of the Union States whose people are not in favor of secession.... If force had been employed to meet force, I believe several States now out of the Union would have remained in it.... The war ... for the defence of the capital, for the maintenance of the authority of the Government and the rights of the United States, I think is necessary, wise, and just.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mothers tend to encourage their sons to run away and romp.... Mothers of little boys often complain that "There's no controlling h...im." "He's all over the place...." The complaints are tinged with more than a little pride at the boy's marvelous independence and masculine bravado. It's almost as though the mother enjoyed being overwhelmed by her spectacular conquering hero.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that ...we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the Governments who have declared their independence and maintain it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
