Child Raised

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or raised:

    A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back—it is already so far.
    Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    Being a father
    Is quite a bother . . .
    You improve them mentally
    And straighten them dentally, . . .
    They’re no longer corralable
    Once they find that you’re fallible . . .
    But after you’ve raised them and educated them and
    gowned them,
    They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
    them.
    Being a father
    Is quite a bother,
    But I like it, rather.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
