Critical Manners

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or manners:

    Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.

    Report of fashions in proud Italy,
    Whose manners still our tardy-apish nation
    Limps after in base imitation.
