Child Raised

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or raised:

    Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!”
    David Elkind (20th century)

    The moderation of men in the most exalted fortunes is a desire to be thought above those things that have raised them so high.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
