Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ~George Bernard Shaw
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball
One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters. ~George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs, 1640
