Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “Children need people in order to become human.... It is primarily through observing, playing, and working with others older and younger than himself that a child discovers both what he can do and who he can become—that he develops both his ability and his identity.... Hence to relegate children to a world of their own is to deprive them of their humanity, and ourselves as well.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “I guess the real reason that my wife and I had children is the same reason that Napoleon had for invading Russia: it seemed like a good idea at the time.”
    —Bill Cosby (20th century)
