“Children love luxury; they have bad

manners, contempt for authority; they

show disrespect for elders and love

chatter in place of exercise. Children are

now tyrants … They no longer rise when

elders enter the room. They contradict

their parents, chatter before company …

and tyrannize their teachers.”

Who said it


Socrates… as quoted by Plato


“Nothing in life is to be

feared; it is only to be

understood. Now is the

time to understand

more, so that we may

fear less.”

Marie Curie
