Children Elements

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or elements:

    In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
    Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)

    There surely is a being who presides over the universe; and who, with infinite wisdom and power, has reduced the jarring elements into just order and proportion. Let speculative reasoners dispute, how far this beneficent being extends his care, and whether he prolongs our existence beyond the grave, in order to bestow on virtue its just reward, and render it fully triumphant.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
