Children Quotes (page 84)

Once you look past the hype, actors are nothing more than fugitives from reality who specialize in contradiction: we are both children and hardened adults—wide-eyed pupils and jaded working stiffs. Bruce Campbell
In other parts of the country people tried to stay together for the sake of the children. In New York they tried to work things out for the sake of the apartment. David Sedaris
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying,..."
Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There was a man so wise, He jumped into. A sandy place. And burnt out both his eyes! And when he knew his eyes were gone, He offered no complaint. He summoned up a vision. And made himself a saint. -Children's Verse from History of Muad'dib Frank Herbert
In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way. Michael Jackson
On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside of the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing on the floor with their chemistry sets, mixing up a batch of TNT to kill a Sunday morning. It is madness to wear ladie? straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life... Annie Dillard
Bill Watterson quote: "People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never..."
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children. Bill Watterson
If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children. Confucius
People never like me and I never like people," she thought. "And I never can talk as the Crawford children could. They were always talking and laughing and making noises. Frances Hodgson Burnett
I always advise children who ask me for tips on being a writer to read as much as they possibly can. Jane Austen gave a young friend the same advice, so I'm in good company there. J. K. Rowling

G. Stanley Hall
As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured. —New York, Sept. 26, 2007 George W. Bush
The old women were gone. They seemed to have ascended into the darkness like the waxy smoke from the candles after he capped them with the brass bell at the end of the snuffer. For a moment, staring into the darkness, he imagined the rafters full of smoky old women with hair sprouting from their chins. Hundreds of them. Thousands. Whispering in Italian, and Polish, and Latin about dead husbands and dead children. Like angels grown old but not allowed to die. He could smell them: the odor of... Pete Hamill
Khalil Gibran quote: "Some of our children are our justifications and some are but..."
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets Khalil Gibran
There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, that God expects us to do something with our lives, and that He will give us help when help is sought. Gordon B. Hinckley
