We have kept our children so busy with "useful" and "improving" activities that we are in danger of raising a generation of young people who are terrified of silence, of being alone with their own thoughts ...

The best teacher of children ... is one who is essentially childlike.

The childhood shows the man, As morning shows the day.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.

We've had bad luck with our kids-they've all grown up.

If a child lives with approval, he learns to live with himself.

Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.

What is so real as the cry of a child?

You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

Who takes the child by the hand, takes the mother by the heart.
