Question 10

Mother's darlings make but milksop heroes. As a twig is bent so is the tree inclined. These sentences are:

Accepted Answer

Mother's darlings make but milksop heroes.
It may be helpful to know that "milksop" means "a person who is indecisive and lacks courage." This proverb warns us that people who are babied by their mothers and have been handed everything typically grow up to become ineffective people. Did you know someone whose mom would do all their projects for them in high school? They're going to have a difficult time on their own in college now.
As a twig is bent so is the tree inclined.
Have you ever seen a tree grow at a weird angle? This is because the sapling was bent and kept growing in that direction. This proverb tells us that, just like a tree grows based on the direction it is set in, we will also grow into adults and our personalities will be shaped by our childhood.
Both proverbs tell us that our upbringing and childhood have a tremendous effect on our adulthood and how we turn out as people. Therefore, they are similar.
