Alexandre Dumas on children

A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.

Men’s minds are raised to the level of the women with whom they associate.

Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their
food, and tyrannize their teachers.

Socrates470–399 BC

Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
