Younger Adults

Famous quotes containing the words younger and/or adults:

    “Let me not live,” quoth he,
    “After my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
    Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
    All but new things disdain.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
