Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense
“Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.” – William Lyon Phelps
We do aspire to live in a tolerant society, after all!
Having raised 4 daughters and been around youth groups for many years I can say this quote is accurate. If it wasn’t for them being cute and adorable it would be a lot harder to suffer through their development, especially when you are in charge of that development and they don’t really want you to be!
