Bulls Gap

Famous quotes containing the words bulls and/or gap:

    People do not know their own faults, just as bulls do not know their own strength.
    Chinese proverb.

    So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.
    David Elkind (20th century)
