Age

Famous quotes containing the word age:

“In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“[The public has] the habit now of invalidating opinions emanating from me by reference to my age and infirmities.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)

“this caricature,
Decrepit age that has been tied to me
As to a dog’s tail?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
