Famous quotes containing the words older and/or adults:
“When as a child I laughed and wept,
Time crept.
When as a youth I waxed more bold,
Time strolled.
When I became a full-grown man,
Time RAN.
When older still I daily grew,
Time FLEW.
Soon I shall find, in passing on,
Time gone.
O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen.”
—Henry Twells (1823–1900)
“Children use all their wiles to get their way with adults. Adults do the same with children.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
