| Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder. Eberhard Arnold Quotes |
Toys tossed on the floor
Hand prints on the wall
Slamming of the door
And footsteps down the hall
Boxes made into towers
Covers turned into tents
Voices get a lil' louder
Guide lines get a lil' bent
Boxes now go untouched
Covers in a folded pile
Silence never was so much
Guide lines never been n' awhile
Did we waste our time a way
We once had back then
Never taking time to play
To 'oft we walked right past them
Now they're grown and gone
The house stands still and neat
Only memories left to carry on
Oh, how our hearts do often weep
Would we change time if we could
Would we play a bigger part
Did we get to wrapped up in the world
For now we're left with just
Memories of the heart. Gloria Babb Quotes |
|

|
| "The Foundation of every state is the education of its youth." Diogenes Quotes |
| Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - "which is the mostest? which is the leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: the heft, shake, Punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart. Richard Buckminster Fuller Quotes |
| "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." Kahlil Gibran Quotes |

Alas, regardless of their doom,
the little victims play!
No sense have they of ills to come,
Nor care beyond to-day. Thomas Gray Quotes |
|
| "Children are not soul-less, unguided creatures made for adults to manipulate like chattel. They are spirited beings, complete at every given moment and age. They have differentiated minds, specialized abilites and unique gifts that give testimony to themselves and their Creator. Children look to us for guidance. And they see us as symbols of love and hate, truth and deceit, selflessness and selfishness, and good and evil.....Children are not our subordinates. They are our co-conspiriators - breathing the same pneuma as us and contributing to a world far beyond present comprehension. Ultimately, in our webs of relationships, it is The Children who will write, rewrite, and edit our scripts of life." Anthony Gregorc Quotes |
Make a memory with your children,
Spend some time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can't replace those
Precious moments that you share.
Money doesn't buy real pleasure,
It doesn't matter where you live;
Children need your own attention,
Something only you can give.
Childhood's days pass all too quickly,
Happy memories all too few;
Plan to do that special something,
Take the time to go or do.
Make a memory with your children,
Take the time in busy days;
Have some fun while they are growing,
Show your love in gentle ways.
Elaine Hardt Quotes |
| "All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day." Franklin P. Jones Quotes |
| Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiosity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. R. D. Laing Quotes |
| You can't cheat kids. If you cheat them when they're children they'll make you pay when they're sixteen or seventeen by revolting against you or hating you or all those so-called teenage problems. I think that's finally when they're old enough to stand up to you and say, 'What a hypocrite you've been all this time. You've never given me what I really wanted, which is you'. John Lennon Quotes |
|
| "Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist." Michael Levine Quotes |
| A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words
bruise the heart of a child. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes |
There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good,
She was very, very good
But when she was bad she was horrid. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes |
| The story goes that Longfellow denied writing this, but according to The Great American Baby Almanac he finally admitted writing it saying "When I recall my juvenile poems and prose sketches, I wish that they were forgotten entirely. They however cling to one's skirt with a terrible grasp." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes |
| My mother loved children--she would have given anything if I had been one. Groucho Marx Quotes |
|
| What guides us is children's response, their joy in learning to dance, to sing, to live together. It should be a guide to the whole world. Yehudi Menuhin Quotes |
| In early infancy, the baby tends to experience herself andher mother as one, a union. If the mother responds attentively and empathetically to the infant, a life-sustaining function is provided which is felt to be part of thebaby‘s self. Andrew P. Morrison Quotes |
When I approach a child
He inspires in me two sentiments:
Tenderness for what he is,
And respect for what he may become. Louis Pasteur Quotes |
Chaque enfant réveille en moi
Tendresse et respect;
Tendresse pour ce qu'il est,
Respect pour ce qu'il deviendra. Louis Pasteur Quotes |
| ...."There are many other facets to the current collapse of childhood. I have touched on the issue only briefly, but one thing is clear, our schools have deteriorated because they must deal with damaged goods. Most responsible for this damage is hospital childbirth; second comes television. Next comes day care, which fosters television and is a result of hospital childbirth. Premature schooling runs fourth. (A fifth must wait a bit for discussion.) And as our damaged children grow up and become the parents and teachers, damage will be the norm, the way of life. We will habituate to damage. Nothing else will be known. How can you miss something you can't even recognize, something you never had?" Joseph Chilton Pearce Quotes |
|
| "Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." Antoine De Saint-Exupery Quotes |
| There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age. Benjamin Spock Quotes |
| The smile that flickers on baby's lips when he sleeps— does anybody know where it was born? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched The Edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born in the dream of a dew-washed morning. Rabindranath Tagore Quotes |
| I think that children have a power to imagine that is almost magical when compared to the adult imagination, and this is something irrevocable that a child loses when he or she becomes bound by logic. We adults continue to have our children’s power of imagination only in our dreams... Of course it’s awfully necessary that children not run their entire lives on the basis of such thinking; they do need to learn how to think logically. But the world will soon teach that to them -and in overabundance. I think we should do everything we can to make it possible for children to hang onto the power to imagine in the almost magical sense for as long as possible. Joseph Weizenbaum Quotes |
| "One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child." Forest Witcraft Quotes |
|
Oh happy we, the first-born heirs of nature,
For whom the Heavenly Sun delays his light!
He by the sweets of every mortal creature
Tempers eternal beauty to our sight;
And by the glow upon love's earthly feature
Maketh the path of our departure bright. George E. Woodberry Quotes |
Behold the Child among his new-born blisses
A six years' Darling of a pigmy size!
See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,
Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,
With light upon him from his father's eyes!
See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art. William Wordsworth Quotes |
How full and rich a world
Theirs to inhabit is--
Sweet scent of grass and bloom,
Playmates' glad symphony,
Cool touch of western wind,
Sunshine's divine caress.
How should they know or feel
They are in darkness?
But, oh, the miracle!
If a Redeemer came,
Laid finger on their eyes--
One touch and what a world,
New-born in loveliness!
Israel Zangwill Quotes |
| It is a wise father that knows his own child. William Shakespeare Quotes |
| Some children's answers to church school questions - from the Church of England: Author Unknown Quotes |

| Give me The Children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterward. St. Francis Xavier Quotes |
| The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh Quotes |
| People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle. Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes |
| Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. Thomas Moore Quotes |
|
| To value his own good opinion, a child has to feel that he is a worthwhile person. He has to have confidence in himself as an individual. Sidonie Gruenberg Quotes |

|
| If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Rachel Carson Quotes |

| To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons. Marilyn French Quotes |
| The old notion that children are the private property of parents dies very slowly. In reality, no parent raises a child alone. How many of us nice middle-class folk could make it without our mortgage reduction? Marian Wright Edelman Quotes |
|
| If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much. Marian Wright Edelman Quotes |
| Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! Lydia Maria Child Quotes |
| If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out. Marian Wright Edelman Quotes |
| When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become. Louis Pasteur Quotes |
| Wealth and children are the adornment of life. Koran Quotes |
|
| You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them -- no matter how old or impressive they may be -- as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much -- we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales. Leo Rosten Quotes |
| Your children are not your children. / They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. Kahlil Gibran Quotes |

John Adams Quotes |
|
| The most effective form of birth control I know is spending the day with my kids. Jill Bensley Quotes |

| I've been to war. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war. George W. Bush Quotes |
| How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver Quotes |
| At work, you think of The Children you have left at home. At home, you think of the work you've left unfinished. Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself. Your heart is rent. Golda Meir Quotes |

| Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. James Baldwin Quotes |
| For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out. James Baldwin Quotes |
|
| Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted. Garrison Keillor Quotes |

| Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents-to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be. Ellen Galinsky Quotes |
| Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. Elizabeth Stone Quotes |
| Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up there pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others -- and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet. Eda LeShan Quotes |

| Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction. Annie Sullivan Quotes |
|
| Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. Anne Frank Quotes |
| Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me. Anna Quindlen Quotes |
| It takes a village to raise a child. African proverb Quotes |

| The Children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. Socrates Quotes |
| Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children. And if you don't help us, who else in the world can help us do this? Albert Camus Quotes |

| Some men just aren't cut out for paternity. Better they should realize it before and not after they become responsible for a son. Lois McMaster Bujold Quotes |
| You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one. Lois McMaster Bujold Quotes |

To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace. Kent Nerburn Quotes |
