Will, therefore, is the unbroken determination to exercise free choice as well as self-restraint, in spite of the unavoidable experience of shame and doubt in infancy.
Erik Erikson
Image
Tenderness is the infancy of love.
Antoine Rivarol
Image
An engaging, blow-by-blow account of the infancy of the Obama presidency. . . . Manna for political junkies. . . . Thoroughly researched . . . humanizes a figure considered periodically out-of-touch even by some of his admirers.
Carlo Wolff
Image
What a mercy was it to us to have parents that prayed for us before they had us, as well as in our infancy when we could not pray for ourselves!
John Flavel
Image
Learning hath his infancy, when it is but beginning and almost childish then his youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile then his strength of years, when it is solid and reduced and lastly his old age, when it waxeth dry and exhaust.
Francis Bacon
Image
In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must rise or fall upon our own merits that vigilance wins success, and incapacity means ruin
Agnes Repplier
Image
After all, the rich get richer and the poor get children. Which is okay so long as lots of them starve in infancy.

For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
Image
We cannot love others as others unless we possess suficient self-love, a love we learn from being loved in infancy.
Judith Viorst
Image
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Image
Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up.
Ezra Taft Benson
Image
I like the idea of Wild Infancy, of people who have a deprived background, of starting out wild.
Tina Weymouth
Image
We hold the moral obligation of providing for old age, helpless infancy, and poverty is far superior to that of supplying the invented wants of courtly extravagance.
Thomas Paine
Image
Only passions, and great passions, can raise the soul to great things. Without them there is no sublimity, either in morals or in creativity. Art returns to infancy, and virtue becomes small-minded.
Denis Diderot
Image
Every generation rediscovers and re-evaluates the meaning of infancy and childhood.
Arnold Gesell
Image
Psycholog­y is in its infancy, as a science. I hope in the interests of Art, it will always remain so.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. From a biological point of view it is inconceivable that any culture will forget that it needs to reproduce itself. But it is quite possible for a culture to exist without a social idea of children. Unlike infancy, childhood is a social artifact, not a biological category.
Neil Postman
Image
I believe that if you want to fight inequality you have to do it starting at infancy.
Michelle Bachelet
Image
The least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
