Famous quotes containing the word children:
“the children call, and I
Thy shepherd pipe, and sweet is every sound,
Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet;
Myriads of rivulets hurrying through the lawn,
The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
And murmuring of innumerable bees.’”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Today’s fathers and mothers—with only the American dream for guidance—extend and overextend themselves, physically, emotionally, and financially, during the best years of their lives to ensure that their children will grow up prepared to do better and go further than they did.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
