Children Quotes

M. Russell Ballard
Give to these children, new from the world,
Rest far from men.
Is anything better, anything better?
Tell us it then.

In the great glasshouses streaming with condensation, the children in mourning-dress beheld marvels.
Arthur Rimbaud
As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father's instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective.
