Mehmet Murat IldanFor a child, parents’ warning is like a rose blooming in the brain; it opens with difficulty and fades quickly.
About This Quote
Parents give children the best advice when they are young, but they are often forgotten when the child grows up. Children are generally more receptive to advice in their youth because it is only when they are older that they begin to forget the advice given to them when they were so young. The words of a parent stay with a person for life, even if the parents have passed away. This quote is an example of this idea, in which parents warn their children that they will forget their advice no matter how much they care for them.
