The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
