In youth we learn; in age we understand.

The parental, and filial affections seem to be as ardent, their sensibility and attachment, as active and faithful, as those observed to be in human nature.

When we are younger, we say a lot of things without often believing in them. The thoughts within you are much more important, and so often, one can't completely describe what one feels. As we grow older, we realize that there is more to love than what is expressed in the conventional sense of the terms.

Our ways of relating to each other become like habits.

In your pursuit of your passions, always be young. In your relationship with others, always be grown-up. Set a standard, and stay faithful to it.

When you're young, you just go banging about, but you're more sensitive as you grow older.

As I'm getting older, I'm really learning unconditional love and loyalty are extremely important.

Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tension.

We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.
