The training
of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste
time in order to save it''

Children see
in their parents the past, their parents see in them the
future; and if we find more love in the parents for their
children than in children for their parents, this is sad but
natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his
recollections.
-- John Ruskin

In great
countries, children are always trying to remain children,
and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile
countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and
the parents want to keep them children.

The
distinctive character of a child is to always live in the
