Text Quotes
The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation  (The Children Quotes) Who can depart from his pain and aloneness without regret? Too many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and I cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache. It is not a garment I cast off this day, bit a skin that I tear with my own hands... Yet I cannot tarry longer  (The Children Quotes) ... perhaps that is what ultimately unites us as a world: the fact that, no matter how prosperous a nation, how developed, all share the plight and embarrassment of having so many suffering children. We are united by our neglect, our abuse, our absence of love. Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?  (The Children Quotes) My dad came over to the house... went into his pocket and pulled out a handful of money, and began to pass it out to the children... This was the same man who, when I was his child, I would ask him for 50 cents, this man would tell me his life’s story  (The Children Quotes) This system in which a child is constantly moving objects with his hands and actively exercising his senses, also takes into account a child’s special aptitude for mathematics. When they leave the material, the children very easily reach the point where they wish to write out the operation. They can thus carryout an abstract mental operation and acquire a kind of natural and spontaneous inclination for mental calculations  (The Children Quotes) Educators need to know what happens in the world of the children with whom they work. They need to know the universe of their dreams, the language with which they skillfully defend themselves from the aggressiveness of their world, what they know independently of the school, and how they know it  (The Children Quotes) With all due respect for the wondrous ways people have invented to amuse themselves and one another on paved surfaces, I find that this exodus from the land makes me unspeakably sad. I think of the children who will never know, intuitively, that a flower is a plant’s way of making love, or what silence sounds like, or that trees breathe out what we breathe in  (The Children Quotes) The people in the village were real poor, so none of the children had any toys. But this one little boy had gotten an old enema bag and filled it with rocks, and he would go around and whap the other children across the face with it. Man, I think my heart almost broke. Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag. He cried a little, but that’s the way of these people  (The Children Quotes) I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it  (The Children Quotes) So let’s not get frightened when the children read fantasy. It’s the compost for a healthy mind. It stimulate s the inquisitive nodes, and there is some evidence that a rich internal fantasy life is as good and necessary for a child as healthy soil is for a plant, for much the same reasons  (The Children Quotes) Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning  (The Children Quotes) I love to go to the playground and watch the children jumping up and down. They don’t know I’m firing blanks  (The Children Quotes) When I got a telly we had no aerial, but I discovered that if I or one of the children stood by it you could get a picture. So I had to make a statue that could stand by the telly  (The Children Quotes) And most importantly perhaps, children can learn about their rights, share their knowledge with the children of other nations, identify problems with them and establish how they might work together to address them  (The Children Quotes) Now we maintain that we cannot be afford to be concerned about 6 percent of the children in this country, black children, who you allow to come into white schools. We have 94 percent who still live in shacks. We are going to be concerned about those 94 percent  (The Children Quotes) A sparkling house is a fine thing if the children aren’t robbed of their luster in keeping it that way  (The Children Quotes) In the meantime, we see there are charities that spend much of their scarce resources that should be going directly to the children to overcome this gulf that separates them from both the donors and the needy  (The Children Quotes) In case of separation, why should the children be taken from the protecting care of the mother? Who has a better right to them than she? How much do fathers generally do toward bringing them up?  (The Children Quotes) Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can’t explain it. They really can’t translate feeling because they’re not part of it. That’s why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It’s not. It’s feeling  (The Children Quotes) Schools that are to cater for the whole population must offer courses that are as rich and varied as are the needs and abilities of the children who enter them  (The Children Quotes) It was not uncommon for the children to be told they were being treated this way because it was their bad karma and they must have hurt a child in a past life  (The Children Quotes) Deep inside us, we know what every family therapist knows: The problems between the parents become the problems within the children  (The Children Quotes) Being a good psychoanalyst, in short, has the same disadvantage as being a good parent: The children desert one as they grow up  (The Children Quotes) I only have so much energy, so something had to go. This is why, at the end of the day, I’ve preserved my sanity for the children and also manage to do my best at work  (The Children Quotes) We’ve got the children so we have to deal with each other because we have to deal with children’s problems, you know, and our own problems. But some days it’s fine, and then some days we just are at each other’s throat  (The Children Quotes) That boy of 17 who shot himself in my house really ended it for us. And although we occasionally saw each other for the sake of the children, it was the end of our personal relationship  (The Children Quotes) Passion is begotten of passion, and it easily happens, as with the children of great men, that the base is the offspring of the noble  (The Children Quotes) We have guidance counselors that have caseloads of 500 to 600 children. We don’t have enough to help the children  (The Children Quotes) You’re more trouble than the children are is the greatest compliment a grandparent can receive  (The Children Quotes) Philistine must have originally meant, in the mind of those who invented the nickname, a strong, dogged, unenlightened opponent of the children of the light  (The Children Quotes)
