Famous quotes containing the words young people, engaging, young and/or people:
“Young people have a marvelous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Sometimes the children who are no problem to their parents should be looked at more closely. This is especially true if those children are extremely obedient and have few friends their own age. A good self-concept allows children to explore the world, risk engaging in conflict and failing. Children who play it safe by never disobeying or risking conflict may be telling you that they feel unqualified to face the world head-on.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Playing at make-believe, the young child becomes the all-powerful person he cannot be in reality. In pretending, the child takes control of his otherwise powerless position.”
—Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)
“We are constantly being surprised that people did things well before we were born.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
