An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON BOYS
Speak roughly to your little boy, and beat him when he sneezes: he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases.
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898, British writer, mathematician)
I never see any difference in boys. I only know two sorts of boys. Mealy boys and beef-faced boys.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870, British novelist)
A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
John B. S. Haldane (1892-1964, British scientist, author)
Boys are capital fellows in their own way, among their mates; but they are unwholesome companions for grown people.
Charles Lamb (1775-1834, British essayist, critic)
Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.
Henry Miller (1891-1980, American author)
Boys will be boys.
American Proverb (Sayings of American origin)
What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.
William M. Thackeray (1811-1863, Indian-born British novelist)
There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.
Mark Twain (1835-1910, American humorist, writer)
