"Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children" — Mark Twain

Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy

Day: A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent

Men are but children of a larger growth.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men

Children's games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity

Children use the fist until they are of the age to use the brain

Mark Twain Quote
