A
boy becomes an adult three years before his
parents think he does, and about two years after
he thinks he does.

A boy is a magical creature—you can lock him out
of your workshop, but you can’t lock him out of
your heart.
|
| A boy is the only thing that God can use to make a
man. |
A boy is Truth with dirt on it’s face,
Beauty with a cut on its finger,
Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair,
and the Hope of the future with a frog in its
pocket.
|
| A
fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far
better company than the average adult. |
Boys are found everywhere—on top of, underneath,
inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running
around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little
girls hate them, older sisters and brothers
tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven
protects them.
|
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of
middle-aged men.
|
Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails,
That’s what little boys are made of.
|
I can sometimes resist temptation, but never
mischief.
|
Nobody knows what a boy is worth, and the world
must wait and see;
For every man in an honored place, is a boy that
used to be.
|
Of all the animals, the boy is the most
unmanageable.
|
There comes a time in every rightly constructed
boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go
somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.
|
What silent wonder is waked in the boy by blowing
from soap and water with a
pipe.
|
You don’t raise heroes; you raise sons. And if
you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be
heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.
