Good friends will allow you to be as innocent and free as a child when in private, and as wise and mature as an adult when in public.

There's nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children; it doesn't even have to matter what they're laughing about.

Trustful people are the pure at heart, as they are moved by the zeal of their own trustworthiness.

Friends ask you questions; enemies question you.

Self-awareness is a good which still can, in some cases, steal one's innocence - for it is often much worse to know better without the discipline to do better.

In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent.

Children are the most reasonable about discipline. When they tell you not to do something, it's always because they know why.

The thing about stereotyping is it's usually just throwing rocks into a crowd hoping to hit somebody who deserves it.
