Shy Younger Men

Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:

    Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively. In particular, adults must guard against embarrassing unskilled children by correcting them too publicly and against labeling children as shy in ways that may lead the children to see themselves in just that way.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    The first sparrow of spring! The year beginning with younger hope than ever!... What at such a time are histories, chronologies, traditions, and all written revelations? The brooks sing carols and glees to the spring.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
