What is the the Jesuit maxim “Give me a child for for his first seven years and I’ll give you the man”

Is this maxim from a Jesuit source?

Does this maxim originate in Balthasar Gracian’s writings or before or after this time (17th C)?

Does the Jesuit influence encapsulated in this maxim have any relevance in the French Revolution?

Depends on how old the child is. I plan on having this discussion with my daughter when she is 9 or 10. She’s about to be 8. If she were younger I would say that it’s what 2 adults do when they love each other and that’s about as far as I would go for now.

It is a quote ascribed to Saint Francis Xavier a founder of the Jusuit order whether or not this had any connection to the source to speak of I do not know…but Francis Xavier was born before the 17thC.

Have no idea what a connection would be with the French revolution.

Give me the child, I will give you the man. This was said by Ignatius Loyola,later elevated to sainthood, who was the founder of the jesuit order.
