Famous quotes containing the word children:

“Numerous studies have shown that those adults who feel the most frustrated by children—and the least competent as parents—usually have one thing in common.... They don’t know what behaviors are normal and appropriate for children at different stages of development. This leads them to misinterpret their children’s natural behaviors and to have inappropriate expectations, both for their children and themselves.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“Stand up and bless the Lord,
Ye children of His choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God
With heart, and soul, and voice.”
—James Montgomery (1771–1854)

“The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
