Human Child

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or child:

“Uncertainty about the outcome is a given in child rearing and not a reflection of a mother’s inadequacy. She should not be misled by her wish to be omnipotent, all-powerful, all-giving, the perfect mother, who will right all the wrongs and make up for all the deprivations of her own childhood. She is simply an imperfect human being with needs of her own.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)

“And fathers are a blessing, too, they give the place a tone;
In fact each child should try and have some parents of its own.”
—Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977)
