~ Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree...
~ ~ The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation. ~ ~ Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys ~ ~ I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions, their insecurities, people's distress, and their hopes and dreams. ~ ~ Men get opinions as boys learn to spell, By reiteration chiefly. ~ ~ Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years. ~ ~ Well, boys, it's a round ball and a round bat and you got to hit the ball square ~ ~ When the boys come into my yard for leave to gather horse-chestnuts, I own I enter into nature's game, and affect to grant the permission reluctantly, fearing that any moment they will find out the imposture of that showy chaff. But this tenderness is quite unnecessary; the enchantments are laid on very thick. Their young life is thatched with them. Bare and grim to tears is the lot of the children in the hovel I saw yesterday; yet not the less they hang it round with frippery romance, like the children of the happiest fortune. ~ ~ Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys, Who lead'st along, in airy dance, Thy votive train of girls and boys. ~ ~ You send your child to the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys who educate him. ~ ~ That was my aspiration, so I was there in a seminary with just boys who were studying to be priests. Pretty rigorous schooling; we never got home, we stayed there all year. ~ ~ Children have a natural antipathy to books - handicraft should be the basis of education. Boys and girls should be taught to use their hands to make something, and they would be less apt to destroy and be mischievous. ~ |
