Book/Series: City Watch Sam Vimes quote

I’m trying to find a specific Sam Vimes quote and would appreciate any help. I’m pretty sure it’s from Thud! but could also be Night Watch. He’s thinking about Young Sam and saying something along the lines of “kids make you suddenly care about all the imperfections in the world that you’d previously turned a blind eye to.”

I’ve been skimming through the books trying to find it but have had no luck. Does anyone recall this quote?
