Children Quotes
Nature, the great Moloch, which exacts a frightful tax of human blood, sparing neither young nor old; taking the child from the cradle, the mother from her babe, and the father from the family.
William Osler

Mother Teresa
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.
Neil Gaiman
Why children?' he asked. 'Why always children? For love to end where it begins is far more beautiful, and Nature knows it.
E. M. Forster
We Poor Cousins don’t care at all though, except for when we’re on welfare, broke, starving, unable to buy cool high-tops for our children or pay for their university tuition or purchase massive fourth homes on private islands with helicopter landing pads. But whatever, we descendants of the Girl Line may not have wealth and proper windows in our drafty homes but at least we have rage and we will build empires with that, gentlemen.

We must speak-blaspheme, if necessary; be accused of being apostates, if that is what is required.

I'd like to protect children, too, but… is everything worth sacrificing to that? I mean, drugs have done a lot of good. … They've midwived a lot of good ideas… lot of great songs, you know? I think 'Penny Lane' is worth 10 dead kids. … I think Dark Side of the Moon is worth 100 dead kids. There, I said it.
Bill Maher
I'm persuaded today that the only way you can get into another country with a different culture from your own is to find a local partner who knows the market. Discovering this felt like small children discovering that if you put a bobby pin into an electric plug you get a shock!
Roberto Civita
There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?
Ken Robinson
