    —Fred Rogers (20th century)

    “The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “Many children grow through adolescence with no ripples whatever and land smoothly and predictably in the adult world with both feet on the ground. Some who have stumbled and bumbled through childhood suddenly burst into bloom. Most shake, steady themselves, zigzag, fight, retreat, pick up, take new bearings, and finally find their own true balance.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
