#10 is too funny. Great quotes all very true no matter the time when they were made.
Good old uncle John, some of these are personal favorites. Great post! Happy TT
I wonder what Socrates would think about some of the children today?! HMMM..
Happy TT!
Those are great! I think #11 is my favorite.
Oh, these are fun. I'm thinking Uncle John would be a good addition to my bookshelf. :)
And I thought children today were different! :-)
Those are great quotes! #9 and #12 are my favorites!
What a great list - I love quotes - I started collecting them, intending to use them on hand made greeting cards - but collecting them is as far as I've gotten - and I probably wouldn't be able to find them now anyways.
I love quotes! You've got some great ones on your list!
#9 is very apt, and #13 very profound.
