"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
Mark Twain
My dad used to quote that to me all the time. I *hated* hearing it. Now, of course, it is one of my favorites.
I also love this one, from James Baldwin: "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."
