Quotes About Children...


What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.  ~Sigmund Freud



The great man is he who does not lose his child's-heart.  ~Mencius, Book IV


The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us.  When the world seems familiar, when one has got used to existence, one has become an adult.  ~Eugene Ionesco


Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.  ~Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
