Famous quotes containing the words adopted and/or child:
“Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country.”

“My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
