Older

Famous quotes containing the word older:

“The older a fool is, the worse he is.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“We are older by faith than by experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“An older child, one who possesses a conscience, will be troubled with self-reproaches and feelings of shame for his naughtiness, even if he is not discovered. But our two-year-olds and our three-year- olds experience guilt feelings only when they feel or anticipate disapproval from the outside. In doing this, they have taken the first steps toward the goal of conscience, but there is a long way ahead before the policeman outside becomes the policeman inside.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
