A child is not frightened at the thought of being patiently transmuted into an old man. Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt. She said she liked me as a friend. A wild colt may become a sober horse.
Young people are thoughtless as a rule.
As for children, I keep as far from them as possible. I don't like the sight of them. The scale is all wrong. The heads tend to be too big for their bodies, and the hands and feet are a disaster. They keep falling into things.
