Earth Return

Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or return:

“Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.”
—Julia A. Fletcher Carney (1823–1908)

“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
