Hayes Children

Famous quotes containing the words hayes and/or children:

    Youth, however, is a defect that she is fast getting away from and may perhaps be entirely rid of before I shall want her.
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
