To bed, to bed; sleep kill those pretty eyes,
And give as soft attachment to thy senses,
As infants empty of all thought. [ William Shakespeare ]

Infants' manners are moulded more by the example of parents than by stars at their nativities. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Education, indeed, has made the fondness for fine things next to natural; the corals and bells teach infants on the breasts to be delighted with sound and glitter. [ H. Brooke ]
