Famous quotes containing the word children:
“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, they’d be all right no matter what. But what I didn’t reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I can’t, I can’t cope with it.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
“Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.”
—Sue Woodman (20th century)
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents.”
