Children are
poor men's riches.
-- John Ray
1627-1705, British Naturalist
My children
cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any
experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the
murderous alternation between bitter resentment and
raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness.
Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny
guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
-- Adrienne Rich
1929-, American Poet
For unflagging
interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things
go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and
achievement lose their importance by comparison.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
1858-1919, Twenty-sixth
President of the USA
Childhood is
the sleep of reason.
-- Jean Jacques Rousseau
1712-1778, Swiss Political
Philosopher, Educationist, Essayist
