Famous quotes containing the word children:
“For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“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)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
