Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.
Pamela Glenconner

We have left three things in our childhood:
******************************
1. Unreasonable happiness
* You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
***********************************************************
2. Unsparing love
* The soul is healed by being with children.
FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY
* If a child is given love, he becomes loving … If he’s helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home … he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
DR. JOYCE BROTHERS
***********************************************************
3.Endless curiosity
* Children find everything in nothing; men find nothing in everything.
Giacomo Leopardi
* There are children playing in the street who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.
J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER
* There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.
Walt Streightiff

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.
Pablo Casals
