How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
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.
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
Infatuated, half through conceit, half through love of my art, I achieve the impossible working as no one else ever works.
The second one is so true
ReplyDeletehaha i am totally posting that education one on the school bulletin board first of the year...smiles....so true...
ReplyDeleteAnother great batch, as with the others, like the kid one the best
ReplyDeleteYou mean, the dumbing down education causes men to be so stupid and little children still have their reasoning process (?)
ReplyDeletethat's the guy who wrote the 3 musketeers right?
ReplyDeleteThat second one is very true. It's also fascinating that children are so kind and innocent and full of magic, and after the world beats that out of them they are none of those things.
ReplyDeleteLittle kids do have a distinctly different kind of intelligence than us adults do. I think it's innocence that does it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI appreciated this: "It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman."
ReplyDeleteDumas was an amazing person.
