~ Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression. ~
~ Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them ~
~ Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life ~
~ Once the children were in the house the air became more vivid and more heated; every object in the house grew more alive ~
~ Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. ~
~ Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion ~
~ Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship ~
~ Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children. ~
~ Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future ~
~ The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him. ~
~ Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them. ~
~ Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever fresh and radiant possibility ~
