"A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age." ― Robert Frost Topic(s): Age More From Robert Frost "There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies." "A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity." "The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended." More In Age "High expectations weren’t nurtured in my neck of nowhere back then – children weren’t fawned over from an early age as ‘gifted’ and groomed for a prizewinning future; self-esteem was considered something you had to pick from the garden yourself."― James Wolcott "I was very successful from a very early age, and I want to keep it."― John Mayer "History, a distillation of rumour."― Thomas Carlyle
