Famous quotes containing the word children:

    ““O life of this our Spring! why fades the lotus of the water?
    Why fade these children of the Spring,born but to smile and fall?”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.””
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “When children are treated with respect, they conclude that they deserve respect and hence develop self-respect. When children are treated with acceptance, they develop self-acceptance; when they are cherished, they conclude that they deserve to be loved, and they develop self-esteem.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)
