Famous quotes containing the words milestone and/or dates:
“Every milestone of a firstborn is scrutinized, photographed, recorded, replayed, and retold by doting parents to admiring relatives and disinterested friends. . . . While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
