Older Persons

Famous quotes containing the words older and/or persons:

“You must not feel too anxious about the little folks with you.... Their little peculiarities, which with your older judgment do not seem favorable, will gradually disappear as they get older. It is best to overlook most things, and not be too solicitous about perfection. I am afraid you will think I will spoil our children by too little government. Perhaps we do err on the other side, but you must come down and instruct us.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“How many persons must there be who cannot worship alone since they are content with so little.”
