Children Quotes
-
Affirm people. Affirm your children. Believe in them, not in what you see but in what you don't see - their potential.
Stephen Covey
-
It is often the case with the silent children about us, that they cherish a dream which they dare not talk about.
Selma Lagerlof
-
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw

We're never going to have respectful and reverential relationships with the planet- and sensible policies about what we put in the air, the soil, the water - if very young children don't begin learning about these things literally in their houses, backyards, streets and schools. We need to have human beings who are oriented that way from their earliest memories.
Elise M. Boulding

Ours is the first society in history in which parents expect to learn from their children, rather than the other way around.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I think a lot of people don't understand the makeup of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program population, of the food stamp population, 80 percent senior citizens, people with disabilities, children, and those who are actually in the work force working. The folks who are not - who are able-bodied, who are adults, who don't have dependents, there's a desire to make sure that they get to work and that they aren't basically gaming the system. But the reality is, they have a responsibility to either be involved in work or education, or they're limited in terms of their benefits.
Tom Vilsack

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone.
Michael Jackson
