Although most Americans believed in Manifest Destiny, few could agree on exactly which lands the United States was supposed to govern. ~ Charles W. Carey Jr.
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Charles W. Carey Jr.
To prepare any activity for the child, it is necessary for the parent to think through every detail ahead of time. For example, is the cracker stiff enough to spread the peanut butter on or does it crumble with the pressure of spreading?...All of these difficulties become apparent in the preliminary practice period by the adult prior to a presentation to the child. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
In the White House now was James Polk, a Democrat, an expansionist, who, on the night of his inauguration, confided to his Secretary of the Navy that one of his main objectives was the acquisition of California. His order to General Taylor to move troops to the Rio Grande was a challenge to the Mexicans. It was not at all clear that the Rio Grande was the southern boundary of Texas, although Texas had forced the defeated Mexican general Santa Anna to say so when he was a prisoner. The traditional border between Texas and Mexico had been the Nueces River, about 150 miles to the north, and both Mexico and the United States had recognized that as the border. However, Polk, encouraging the Texans to accept annexation, had assured them he would uphold their claims to the Rio Grande. Ordering troops to the Rio Grande, into territory inhabited by Mexicans, was clearly a provocation. ~ Howard Zinn
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Howard Zinn
After you have planned each detail of an activity, organized a tray of materials, and practiced with them, you can model a cycle of activity with the child. Do so very slowly and methodically, pausing briefly after each step. Your child wants to imitate you but his thinking skills are limited. He relies on habit, pattern and repetition. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family. ~ James K. Polk
Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
Parents in the early half of the twentieth century were primarily concerned with the development of character in their children. They wanted to be certain that their children were ready to cope with adversity, for it was surely coming to them one day whether in personal or national life. The development of character involves self-discipline and often sacrifice of one's own desires for the good of self and others. Montessori education, developed in this historical period, reflects this emphasis on the formation of the child's character. However, parents today are more likely to say their primary wish for their children is that they be happy. In pursuit of this goal they indulge their children, often unconsciously, to a degree that is startling to previous generations. All parents need to remember that true happiness comes through having character and discipline, and living a life of meaningful contribution -- not by having and doing whatever you wish. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
...Montessori decided her teachers must each write their own textbook based on their own understanding of Montessori education... her own personal guidebook to refer to, revise, and add to throughout her teaching career.
...By writing her own guidebook, the Montessori teacher is forced to think through her personal approach to the materials and the children on a deeper level than if she were merely handed someone else's answers. This policy of asking each teacher to state her own understanding of Montessori philosophy is consistent with a philosophy and method of education that asks children to discover their own answers, instead of expecting to appropriate and substitute someone else's experiences for their own. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
Because the materials selected for a specific purpose such as food preparation are set on a tray in order and sequence of use, from left to right and top to bottom, the child mentally incorporates this precise order it becomes part of his functional intelligence ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
No age is compelled to take its beauty from preceding epochs. ~ Willis Polk
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Willis Polk
The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves. ~ James K. Polk
Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
Public opinion: May it always perform one of its appropriate offices, by teaching the public functionaries of the State and of the Federal Government, that neither shall assume the exercise of powers entrusted by the Constitution to the other. ~ James K. Polk
Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk

Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
The child doesn't just live in his environment, it becomes a part of him. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
Our schools are no closer in connecting the education of children to their development as human beings: each child as an individual with a unique contribution to make to the world. Until this is done, our schools will fail to help children become active learners, connected to their society, and empowered to accomplish things within it. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
Military commanders choose to overlook the Kenyan proverb that proclaims the power of the flea--"A flea can trouble a lion more than the lion can harm a flea." Most generals would rather be lions than fleas. ~ William R. Polk

The small child walks to develop his powers, he is building up his being. He goes slowly. He has neither rhythmic step nor goal. But things around him allure him and urge him forward. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard

Fontanos On Polk quotes by C.L. Polk
I heard the opening bar of 'Help' as I headed down Polk Street. Every single time I've heard that tune I've taken it as some message from God, a warning of things to come, a perfect description of my mashed-potato character ~ Oscar Zeta Acosta
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Oscar Zeta Acosta
It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored. ~ James K. Polk

Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
The child must be given activities that encourage independence, and he must not be served by others in acts he can learn to perform himself. ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard
How are we to help? We need to become aware of all the ways in which we hold the child back from becoming a fully functioning human being: the sink and counter that she cannot reach, the mirror that is too high for her to see herself, the chair that is too big for her to sit comfortably in...the pants that are too tight for her to pull up and down... ~ Paula Polk Lillard
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Paula Polk Lillard

Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
If a man ... would shake and not be shaken, grip and not be gripped, taking care always to squeeze the hand of his adversary as hard as it squeezed him, then he suffered no inconvenience from it. ~ James K. Polk

Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
The only President who clearly died of overwork was Polk, and that was a long time ago. Hoover, who worked intensely and humorlessly as President, lived for more than thirty years after the White House; Truman, who worked intensely and gaily, lived for twenty ~ Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
After you have demonstrated a practical-life exercise, and once your child has begun to use it with concentration, you must take care not to interrupt him. ~ Paula Polk Lillard

Fontanos On Polk quotes by James K. Polk
In the nineteenth century, cholera struck the most modern, prosperous cities in the world, killing rich and poor alike, from Paris and London to New York City and New Orleans. In 1836, it felled King Charles X in Italy; in 1849, President James Polk in New Orleans; in 1893, the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in St. Petersburg. ~ Sonia Shah
Fontanos On Polk quotes by Sonia Shah

Polk
