Quote by John Ruskin

Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.

Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in

Summary

This quote suggests that the relationship between parents and children is complex. Children look up to their parents and see their past experiences and values reflected in them. On the other hand, parents see in their children the potential and possibilities of the future. The quote also highlights that it is natural for parents to have more love for their children than the other way around, as parents often place more hope and expectations in their children rather than dwelling on past memories.
