Young Friends

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or friends:

“When young one is confident to be able to build palaces for mankind, but when the time comes one has one’s hands full just to be able to remove their trash.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“It is possible to make friends with our children—but probably not while they are children.... Friendship is a relationship of mutual dependence-interdependence. A family is a relationship in which some of the participants are dependent on others. It is the job of parents to provide for their children. It is not appropriate for adults to enter into parenthood recognizing they have made a decision to accept dependents and then try to pretend that their children are not dependent on them.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
