—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“I’ve noticed that the children of other nations always seem precocious. That’s because the strange manners of their elders have caught our attention most and the children echo those manners enough to seem like their parents.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“So work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.”
