Poor Children

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or children:

    “Should poor souls fear a shade or night,
    Who came sure from a sea of light?
    Or since those drops are all sent back
    So sure to thee, that none doth lack,
    Why should frail flesh doubt any more
    That what God takes, He’ll not restore?”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
