"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled wit…" — Edgar Watson Howe

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children

Children's games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor

If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself

Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.
