Famous quotes containing the word children:
“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Little children disturb your sleep, big ones your life.”
—Yiddish proverb.
“Parents have to get over the idea that their children belong just to them; children are a family affair.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
