Famous quotes containing the word children:

    ““... But if you shrink from being scared,
    What would you say to war if it should come?
    That’s what for reasons I should like to know
    If you can comfort me by any answer.”
    “Oh, but war’s not for children it’s for men.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me.”
    —George V (20th century)

    “Everything our children hear, see, and feel is recorded onto a cassette. Guess who is the big star in their movie? You are. What you say and, more important, what you do, is recorded there for them to replay over and over again. We all have videocassettes. Adults just have larger libraries of tapes available.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)
