I think that saving a little child And bringing him to his own Is a derned sight better business Than loafing around the throne.

A child's a plaything for an hour.

Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardour for their curiosity their intolerance of shams the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.

Babies are such a nice way to start people.

Children have no use for psychology. They detest sociology. They still believe in God the family angels devils witches goblins logic clarity punctuation and other such obsolete stuff. When a book is boring they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity but leave to adults such childish allusions.

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

The wildest colts make the best horses.

The child is father of the man.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders but they have never failed to imitate them.

Your children are not dead. They are just waiting until the world deserves them.

When I was a child I spake as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child but when I became a man I put away childish things.
