Customs Barriers

Famous quotes containing the words customs and/or barriers:

    O Kate, nice customs curtsy to great kings. Dear Kate, you

    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
