Famous quotes containing the word progeny:
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“This same progeny of evils comes
From our debate, from our dissension.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
