Do you have any good quotes about 'coming of age'?

Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 1

"There comes a time in a man's life, when the jewels cease to sparkle, gold loses it's luster, the throne room becomes a prison - and all a man has left is his love for his daughter."

-Max Von Sydow (in the movie "Conan the Barbarian")

Answer 2

Your daughter has 'come of age', you will have to 'give  room' for her behaviour. After all, 'rolling stone gathers no moss'.  Jane, you have got to learn by experiance, esp., ' lokk before you leap'.

Answer 3

"do you know how many foods are shaped like *****? the best kind"

Answer 4

"Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
