“It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn. The true object of juvenile education, is to provide, against the age of five and twenty, a mind well regulated, active, and prepared to learn. Whatever will inspire habits of industry and observation, will sufficiently answer this purpose.” MindWellsChildrenAgePurposeAnswersFiveOne ThingObjectsInspireIndustryHabitImportanceTwentiesPreparedActiveObservationJuvenile Book:The Enquirer: Reflections on Education, Manners, and Literature.

“I think because I did become a well-known face in my thirties and not in my twenties, I was pretty settled in my boots and I knew who I was. And I think there's a sort of Scottish thing, too, where you don't take yourself too seriously, and you don't get carried away with your own sense of self-importance.” ThinkingWellsSelfFacesKnownImportanceTwentiesBootsWell KnownSense Of SelfScottishCarried AwaySelf-importance Author:Ashley Jensen
“If you're in your early twenties, don't put so much importance on the money, on the raise.

“Four times, under our educational rules, the human pack is shuffled and cut - at eleven-plus, sixteen-plus, eighteen-plus and twenty-plus - and happy is he who comes top of the deck on each occasion, but especially the last.

“If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love - You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point.” IfsMenHas BeensImportantChristianTermVirtueHappenedLove YouHighestNegativeIdealsImportanceTwentiesGood ThingsCarrieGood ManSuggestionsNineteenAbstinenceUnselfishness Author:C.
