A child's a plaything for an hour

A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength

Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.

I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is

A clever child brought up with a foolish one can itself become foolish. Man is so perfectible and corruptible he can become a fool through good sense
