Quote by William Lyon Phelps
Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.
Summary
This quote suggests that nature bestows physical beauty upon boys and girls to make up for their lack of wisdom or sense. In other words, their attractiveness serves as a temporary distraction until they mature and develop better judgment. It implies that the inherent beauty of individuals of young age is a fleeting quality, while intelligence and common sense are more important attributes to be gained over time.
