About this Quote

This quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge talks to the value of both children and the senior in our world. He recommends that without kids, the world would be an unfortunate and lonesome place, as they bring delight and laughter to our lives. Likewise, without the elderly, the world would be an inhumane location, as they provide us with wisdom, experience, and a connection to our past. Coleridge's words remind us of the worth of both generations, and how they improve our lives in various methods. He encourages us to appreciate the contributions of both kids and the senior, and to recognize the value of their presence in our lives.
