“Babies are a link between angels and man”

“Children have more need of models than of critics”

“Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man”

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it”

“Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever fresh and radiant possibility.”

“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives”
