Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they’ve had since time began.”
    —Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    “The power we exert over the future behavior of our children is enormous. Even after they have left home, even after we have left the world, there will always be part of us that will remain with them forever.”
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    “upon these maxims meditate:
    All women dote upon an idle man
    Although their children need a rich estate;
    No man has ever lived that had enough
    Of children’s gratitude or woman’s love.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
