Childhood with all its proverb

 Childhood, with all its mirth,
Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,
And last, Man's Life on earth,
Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.

 Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.
  Joseph Conrad

 And what's a life? - a weary pilgrimage, Whose glory in one day doth fill the stage With childhood, manhood, and decrepit age
  Francis Quarles

 For life in general, there is but one decree; youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret
  Benjamin Disraeli

 He has tried all different strokes, but the thing that is helping him right now is that he is really getting the glide he needs underwater. We have done some studies of the physiology of fish and the ways they swim, and the glide that they get. David gets a lot of glide. That's the fastest part of his race.

 The common growth of Mother Earth
Suffices me, -- her tears, her mirth,
Her humblest mirth and tears.
  William Wordsworth

 YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.

But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark! Now, in God His name I chide aloud the little interspace Disparting me from Certitude, and fain Would know the dream and vision ne'er again. --Baruch Arnegriff

It is said that in his last illness the poet Arnegriff was attended at different times by seven doctors.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
  Oscar Wilde

 YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next.
  Cesare Pavese

 We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Childhood lasts all through life. It returns to animate broad sections of adult life. . . . Poets will help us to find this living childhood within us, this permanent, durable immobile world.
  Gaston Bachelard

 Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret
  Benjamin Disraeli

 The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth
  Benjamin Disraeli
