Maturing Boys

Famous quotes containing the words maturing and/or boys:

“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
