“When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when youre older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.”

“Wi joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An each for others weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
