Famous quotes containing the words children and/or story:

    Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.
    Sue Woodman (20th century)

    Even such is Time, which takes in trust
    Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
    And pays us but with age and dust,
    Who in the dark and silent grave
    When we have wandered all our ways
    Shuts up the story of our days.
    And from which earth, and grave, and dust,
    The Lord shall raise me up I trust.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
