Children

Famous quotes containing the word children:

    Let America first praise mediocrity even, in her children, before she praises ... the best excellence in the children of any other land.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    The beginnings of altruism can be seen in children as early as the age of two. How then can we be so concerned that they count by the age of three, read by four, and walk with their hands across the overhead parallel bars by five, and not be concerned that they act with kindness to others?
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
