ref: 1928 October 24, Q. Q. McIntyre, “Behind the News”, in The Daily Herald, volume XXXI, number 60, Biloxi, Miss.; Gulfport, Miss., page 2, column 6:
text: It has been said of man, “Once an adult, twice a child.” Young children are by nature dependent, require protection and security. There comes a time when the child struggles to get out from under the parents’ protective covering and exercise self-determination; to progress from dependence to independence. The Senior Citizen, too, often rebels against having his decisions made by others; he struggles against being treated like a child or as a nonentity by his own children and others.

text: My Flossie and I had the Santa Claus tables turned on us Christmas Eve, or maybe it is that old adage, “Once an adult and twice a child’ that came true. Anyway we sat up real late Christmas eve so we would be sure Jim Watie and his sister Andrea were asleep when old Santa came to the house . . . we made it or thought that we did but next morning when we got up instead of there being 3 stockings, Jim’s, Andy’s and Allyn’s hanging at the fire place there were five. Those two imps had filled a couple of stockings with our names on them and hung them up along the side of theirs. It was a lot of fun, made especially so because it was my Flossie’s and my first Christmas as grandpa and grandma.

text: It amazes me that some people find nursing or caring for someone as something no one should do, and it always shocks me to realize that their reaction is so negative.

Once when I was asked “How can you do this?![”] I replied with a terse “Once an adult and twice a child”. We may have to go through this ourselves one day. It needs to be done.

you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make her drink
Language: English
Part of speech: proverb
Senses: examples: text: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make her drink, and while suffrage was prepared for Louisville women with all due formality, they either didn’t care for it or weren’t prepared for it. It seems very apparent from the big difference between the number of women entitled to a vote in suffrage communities and the number who use it, that the majority is far from demanding it.
ref: 1914 January 9, “Kentucky Women and the Vote”, in The Paducah Evening Sun, volume XXXVII, number 8, Paducah, Ky., page 4, column 2:

Motivation is the player’s responsibility as well as the coach’s. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make her drink.” This statement seems to sum up the coach. The coach can lead and help the players, but in the final analysis, the players must have the desire and motivation to perform.
