When boys go first to bed, — Boy

"Boys should not be afraid that running will give them a weak heart or shorten their lives. Statistics prove that longevity has favored the athlete."

"Every boy needs schooling in virtues in order to become a great man. And any parent can school him because at the heart of virtue is masculine intuition. Parents dont have to construct the virtues and then pour then into the heart of their son. The virtues are there, but in small fragments that must be cleaned, shaped, and polished."

"For his teeth seem for laughing round an apple. There lurk no claws behind his fingers supple; And God will grow no talons at his heels, Nor antlers through the thickness of his curls."

"Mad about the boy, Its pretty funny but Im mad about the boy. He has a gay appeal That makes me feel There may be something sad about the boy."

"Better build schoolrooms for "the boy" Than cells and gibbets for "the man."

"School boys and discipline are almost by definition at odds with one another."
