- Delicacies are thrown away upon a growing youth; they are quite out of place; his appetite does not require pampering, and cading, and coaxing; moreover, a youth who is made to think a great deal of his stomach is sure to grow up an epicure!
- [1881, Pye Henry Chavasse, The Mental Culture and Training of Children[2], Lindsay & Blakiston, LCCN e11000014, OCLC 7647810, page 118:
- Besides, the more luxury a child has, the more he will require—wants beget wants; until, at length, he will become a poor, wretched, artificial imbecile, fit only to be caded and cottoned up in warm enervating rooms; but totally unfit to be buffeted about—as is good for him—in this rough world of ours.]
