  • "Character is largely caught, and the father and the home should be the great sources of character infection."

    And the mother? Hello?

    abra on 2015-08-09 14:16:04
    Yes, what's the matter with you, Frank. In most homes, the mother is extremely involved in character development.

    SippyGurl on 2015-10-10 00:43:41
    i guess mother is the home

    Okay Mr. Cheley, but why use such an icky metaphor?

                                the full quote is: "A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it." is that helpful? (it doesn't help me much.)
