Child hunger and child obesity are really just two sides of the same coin. Both rob our children of the energy, the strength and the stamina they need to succeed in school and in life. And that, in turn, robs our country of so much of their promise.
Michelle Obama

Anyone who ever wondered how much they could love a child who did not spring from their own loins, know this: it is the same. The feeling of love is so profound, it's incredible and surprising.
Nia Vardalos

It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is. While one's child takes a part of one's heart to use and misuse as they please, a grandchild is different. Gone are the bonds of guilt and responsibility that burden the maternal relationship. The way to love is free.

China was probably the worst place in the world to grow up female 100 years ago. There was foot binding, female infanticide, concubinage, and child marriage, and now it's one of the better places. So I really do feel that we're on the right side of history here.

The public service is not a serial child-snatcher

To say that you have to carry to term and look after a child for the rest of your life is to say I force you, legally, to love someone. It's like saying, you know, you have to go and love another - you have to go - you know, you have to go marry someone. It's like an arranged marriage.

Sustenance for the infant and child is more than alimentary nourishment. The child needs love, security, narcissistic supplies -- however one may describe it.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
Audrey Hepburn

The priest has just baptized you a Christian with water and I baptize you a Frenchman, daring child, with a dewdrop of champagne on your lips.
Paul Claudel

The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Ray Lyman Wilbur

I've since come to understand the reason school lasts thirteen years. It takes that long to sufficiently break a child's will. It is not easy to disconnect children's wills, to disconnect them from their own experiences of the world in preparation for the lives of painful employment they will have to endure.

I know that a sweet child is the sweetest thing in nature, not even excepting the delicate creatures which bear them.
Charles Lamb

I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, 'Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I've read these books because now I want to be a witch.'
J. K. Rowling

The incarnation began with Jesus and it has never stopped . . . God takes on flesh so that every home becomes a church, every child becomes the Christ-child, and all food and drink become a sacrament. God's many faces are now everywhere, in flesh, tempered and turned down, so that our human eyes can see him.

I leave the human cockroaches to discuss their heroin and child pornography.

On my tenth birthday a bicycle and an atlas coincided as gifts, and a few days later I decided to cycle to India...However, I was a cunning child so I kept my ambition to myself, thus avoiding the tolerant amusement it would have provoked among my elders.

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.
Thomas Huxley
Image
Even as a child I felt in my heart two opposite emotions: the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.
Charles Baudelaire

It's estimated that there may be two hundred and fifty million children in the world engaged in some form of exploitative child labour.
Carol Bellamy

More than anything else I recall being, or trying very deliberately to be, a perfect child. Not a Goody Two-shoes, but a kid who did good, who worked hard and met every expectation. I strove to achieve in the excessive way that psychotherapists tend to regard with concern.
James McGreevey
Image
He looked the boy up and down as if he had never seen a child before and wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do with one: eat it, ignore it or kick it down the stairs.
John Boyne
Image
The most beautiful sight in the world is a little child going confidently down the road of life after you have shown him the way.
Confucius
Image
For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild Christ, our God, to Thee we raise this our Sacrifice of grateful praise.
Folliott Sandford Pierpoint
Image
I wish that every child could have growing space because I think children are a little like plants. If they grow too close together, they become thin and sickly and never obtain maximum growth. We need room to grow.
