Children are our most valuable natural resource.

Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking

outside your body.

Your children are not your

children. They are the

sons and daughters of

Life's longing for itself.

There are no seven wonders of the world in the

eyes of a child. There are seven million.

Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it.

Children's talent to endure

stems from their

ignorance of alternatives.

While we try to teach our children all about life,

Our children teach us what

life is all about.

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

The only thing worth stealing is a kiss from a sleeping child.

Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.

Before you were conceived

I wanted youBefore you were born I loved youBefore you

were here an hour I would die for youThis is the

miracle of life.

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.

If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to

preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the

world be a sense of wonder so

indestructible that it would last

throughout life.

Children are one third of our population and all of our

future.
