"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."
-- Pablo Casals

* Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next.
- Cesare Pavese

“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future. "            -John F. Kennedy

Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.

 ~Harold Hulbert

You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again.

 ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762


A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.

~Bill Vaughan

The past eight weeks have come and gone so quickly. I have had an over abundant amount of life getting in the way for me and thankfully I have had all of you to keep me focused. I have chosen these quotes and they speak of the innocence of childhood and how important our children are to the future. I have learned so much about the different developmental stages children transform through and have enjoyed the different discussions and perspectives.
