Poor Children

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or children:

    “So hills and valleys into singing break;
    And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
    While active winds and streams both run and speak,
    Yet stones are deep in admiration.
    Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
    Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “We all know children who grew up in authoritarian families and have never stopped rebelling against restrictiveness wherever they find it. And they seem to be more prone than others to find it!”
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)
