Dwight Eisenhower once said, "You can't lead people by hitting them over the head. That's assault, not leadership."
(from Pirkei Avos:)
Rabbi Yose bar Yehudah of Kfar HaBavli says:
One who learns Torah from the young, to what can he be likened?--to one who eats unripe grapes or drinks unfermented wine from his vat.
But one who learns Torah from the old, to what can he be likened?--to one who eats ripe grapes or drinks aged wine.
Rabbi Meir says:
Do not look at the vessel, but what is in it; there is a new vessel filled with old wine and an old vessel that does not even contain new wine.
