A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Father Ronald Knox (1888-1957) British clergyman, writer.
Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.
Charles Dickness (1812-1870) English novelist.
Babies are the enemies of the human race.
Isaac Asimov (b.1920) American author.
Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a new born child?
Mrs. Norton.
A babe in the house is a well spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angles and men.
Tupper.
A sweet new blossom of humanity, fresh fallen from God’s own home, to flower on earth.
Massey.
Some wonder that children should be given to young mothers. But what instructions does the babe bring to the mother! She learns patience, self-control, endurance; her very arm grows strong so that she holds the dear burden longer than the father can.
T.W. Higginson.
Living jewels, dropped unstained from heaven.
Pollock.
A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.
Byron.
The coarsest father gains a new impulse to labor from the moment of his baby’s birth. Every stroke he strikes is for his child. New social aims, and new moral motives come vaguely up to him.
T.W. Higginson.
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the Everywhere into the here…
George Macdonald, At the back of the North Wind.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength.
Old Testament, Psalms, VIII,2
Good Christian people, here is for you an inestimable loan. Take all head thereof, and in all carefulness employ it. With high recompense, or else with heavy penalty, will it one day be required back.
Carlyle.
Could we understand half what mothers say and do to us when infants, we should be filled with such conceit of our own importance as would make us insupportable through life. Happy the child whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.
Hare.
They always talk who never think.
Prior.
Fire and sword are but slow engines of destruction in comparison with the babbler.
Steele.
Talkers are no good does, be assured. We go to use our hands and not our tongues.
Shakespeare.
