Children

A man growing old becomes a child again

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed

It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children

A mother who is really a mother is never free

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers

Do not feed children on maudlin sentimentalism or dogmatic religion; give them nature

Children use the fist until they are of the age to use the brain
