Ah, but I was so much older thenI’m younger than that now

I'm too old to know everything

Parent must set an example to their children in love, in deeds and in conduct.

Appreciate youthfulness and empathize with elderly people.

The young man pities his elders, fearing the day he, too, will join their ranks. The elderly man pities the younger generation, well-knowing the trials and tribulations that lie ahead of them.

The institutions, conventions, customs and laws that make up the complex structure of a society are the work of a hundred centuries and a billion minds; and one mind must not expect to comprehend them in one lifetime, much less in twenty years.

Do not dismiss the words of the old; they possess wisdom, which comes only with age, and often speak of things that the young are too immature to understand.

whilst you are a youth, think about the aged; whilst you are an aged, think about the youth

It's like the day you realize dolls are dolls. I pick up my old self and I see it's silly. A toy I've played with too often. It's a little sad, like an old golliwog at the bottom of the cupboard. Innocent and used-up and proud and silly.

Childhood is not all merriment since a child realizes that seamless youthful days are an experiment for adulthood.
