Summary
This quote conveys that being straightforward and honest, or "frank," is a valuable quality. However, it suggests that it is commonly found in the younger generation. The implication is that the young are more willing to express their opinions and be transparent without fear of consequences or societal constraints. It highlights the idea that as people grow older, they tend to become more cautious and guarded, potentially sacrificing their frankness for social acceptance or personal gain.
