Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “The sturdy Irish arms that do the work are of more worth than oak or maple. Methinks I could look with equanimity upon a long street of Irish cabins, and pigs and children reveling in the genial Concord dirt; and I should still find my Walden Wood and Fair Haven in their tanned and happy faces.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Live free, child of the mist,—and with respect to knowledge we are all children of the mist.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they’ll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.”
    —Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)
