Famous quotes containing the word children:

    Our most important task as parents is raising children who will be decent, responsible, and caring people devoted to making this world a more compassionate place
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    One of the most significant effects of age-segregation in our society has been the isolation of children from the world of work. Whereas in the past children not only saw what their parents did for a living but even shared substantially in the task, many children nowadays have only a vague notion of the nature of the parent’s job, and have had little or no opportunity to observe the parent, or for that matter any other adult, when he is fully engaged in his work.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:14.
