"Children are overwhelming, supercilious,
passionate, envious, inquisitive, egotistical, idle, fickle, timid,
intemperate, liars and dissemblers; they laugh and weep easily, are
excessive in their joys and sorrows, and that about the most trifling
subjects; they bear no pain, but like to inflict it on others; already
they are men."
