| The child is father of the man |
Examples
"The child is father of the man," Wordsworth once said. Zagalo the player was father of Zagalo the coach. With Saldanha in charge, Brazil would have been more dashing in Mexico, but it is doubtful whether she would have won the Cup. Zagalo made the team work in his "little ant" way. (World Sports)"Guy is very young," she said, rather faintly. "We mustn't forget that." "The child, madam, is father to the man," said Min Wilkin, rather with an air of one displaying the more erudite part of her mind. (Hichens)
"Law? Was it law, Anna? I don't believe it. I can't see myself in a wig getting some poor devil hanged." Anna said, "No." "It doesn't connect. After all, the child does make the man. I never wanted to be a lawyer. I did want to be an explorer - but that's unlikely. Even with this beard." (Greene)
Russian translation
Ребенок - это отец человека.Уже в ребенке заложены черты взрослого.
