The masses are the real heroes, while we ourselves are often childish and ignorant, and without this understanding, it is impossible to acquire even the most rudimentary knowledge.
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup.
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
A man of extreme fickleness of principle and full of childish vanity
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to continue always a child.
You need to act your age and not your girl's age
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.
I have a natural affinity with children and adults who can't accept adult responsibility.
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
I'm a big kid, you know?
I hope that there's a difference between being childish and childlike and that I'm the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder. I don't think I'm a terribly good grown-up; I don't take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I'm absolutely appalling.
Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
Inside, I feel 30ish - I'm childish and optimistic.
I'm too much of a big kid.
Women are only children of a larger growth. A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.
Be childish. Be irresponsible. Be disrespectful. Be everything this society hates.
The vanity of loving fine clothes and new fashion, and placing value on ourselves by them is one of the most childish pieces of folly.
Men deal with life as children with their play, Who first misuse, then cast their toys away.
When you start feeling silly, you start doing silly things.
I was as afraid as the next man in my time and maybe more so. But with the years, fear had come to be regarded as a form of stupidity to be classed with overdrafts, acquiring a venereal disease or eating candies. Fear is a child's vice and while I loved to feel it approach, as one does with any vice, it was not for grown men and the only thing to be afraid of was the presence of true and imminent danger in a form that you should be aware of and not be a fool if you were responsible for others.
I happen to be immature, undisciplined, and self-centered, pretty much a little boy in a man's body, although I'd appreciate it if you didn't quote me on that. -Bobby Tom
[Kids] are just like annoying short people
They swayed about upon a rocking horse, And thought it Pegasus.
He is vanity itself, sacrificing everything to his own moods and childish amusements, and nobody checks him in doing so.
Men from children nothing differ.
