“It isn't always the middle-aged who refuse to listen, who will not even try to understand another point of view. One boy would not get it through his head that for all adults God is not an old man in a white beard sitting on a cloud. As far as this boy was concerned, this old gentleman was the adult's god, and therefore he did not believe in God.” MenTryingBelieveWhiteViewsBoysMiddleSittingAdultsConcernedCloudsRefusePoint Of ViewGentlemanOld ManBelieve In GodBeardMiddle Aged Book:The Crosswicks Journals: A Circle of Quiet, The Summer of the Great-Grandmother, The Irrational Season, and Two-Part Invention Source: The Crosswicks Journals: A Circle of Quiet, The Summer of the Great-Grandmother, The Irrational Season, and Two-Part Invention
“There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry.²” “Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth “You owe me” Look what happens with a love like that, It lights the whole sky..”” MenYearsLooksChildrenLittlesSaidWholeLightHappensEarthMotherNextLostBoysSunFourWifeSeeingDoorsSkyCryHe ManNeighborGentlemanSatFour YearsYardsLapElderlyLittle BoysNext Door Neighbors Author:Hafez
“Talking things over has its place in an organization [but] so-called conferences are being grossly overdone. One executive stops at the desk of another to tell him, perhaps, about the wonderful score he made at golf on Saturday afternoon. This chin-chin immediately becomes a conference, and neither the office boy nor the telephone operator must disturb either gentleman. More idle gossip is indulged in at many business conferences these days than an old wives' sewing circle would be guilty of.” MadeWould BeTalkingBoysWifeWonderfulOfficeOrganizationGolfCirclesGuiltyThese DaysGentlemanScoreExecutivesGossipAfternoonDesksIdleSaturdayTelephonesConferencesChinsSewingOperatorsSaturday AfternoonIdle Gossip Author:B.

“I've always been very chauvinistic, even in my boy-obsessed days. But I was always a gentleman. I alwaysd treated my boys like real ladies. Always escorted them properly and, in fact, I suppose if I were a lot older - like 40 or 50 - I'd be a wonderful sugar daddy to some little queen down in Kensington. I'd have a houseboy named Richard to order around.” IfsLittlesRealFactsOrderBoysWonderfulTreatedQueensObsessedGentlemanSugarDaddyMy BoysSugar Daddy Author:David Bowie
