Children

A man growing old becomes a child again

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste

It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment

A mother who is really a mother is never free

The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves

You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world

Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.

How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children

A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.

I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is

A child's a plaything for an hour

Nobody is going to let anybody's children play on something that is unsafe. There is just no way

Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well

The thing is to become a master and in your old age to acquire the courage to do what children did when they knew nothing

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor
