Maturity

Famous quotes containing the word maturity:

“Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience.

—Neil Kurshan (20th century)

“When a man reaches his maturity in understanding and in years, the feeling comes over him that his father was wrong to beget him.”
