Youth is a wonderful thing; what a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Anglo-Irish playwright, critic.

If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, dramatist.
Don’t take up man’s time talking about the smartness of your children; he wants to talk to you about the smartness of his.
Ed (E.W.) Howe (1853-1937) American journalist, novelist.
There is little use to talk about your child to anyone; other people either have one or haven’t.
Don Herold (1889-1966) American humorous writer, artist.
The parent who could see his boy as he really is would shake his head and say; “Willy is no good: I will sell him.”
Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) Canadian humorist, economist
There is no sinner like a young saint.

Ignorance is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
George Eliot (1819-1880) English novelist.
Girls like to be played with, and rumpled a little, too, sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) Anglo-Irish author.
Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity.
Bovee.
Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.
Milton.
The child is father of the man.
Wordsworth.
I love these little people; and It is not a light thing, when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.
Dickens.
The clew of our destiny, wander where we will, lies at the foot of the cradle.
Richter.
The interests of childhood and youth are the interests of mankind.
Janes.
Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow. The wholesome warmth necessary to make the heart blood circulate healthily and freely; unhappiness the chilling pressure which produces here an inflammation, there an excrescence, and, worst of all. “the mind’s green and yellow sickness” – ill temper.
Bray.
Children have more need of models than of critics.
Joubert.
Beware of fatiguing them by ill judged exactness. If virtue offers itself to the child under a melancholy and constrained aspect, while liberty and license present themselves under an agreeable form, all is lost, and your labor is in vain.
Fenelon.
Children sweeten labors, but they make misfortunes more bitter. They increase the cares of life, but they mitigate the remembrance of death.
Bacon.
In bringing up a child, think of its old age.
Joubert.
Some one says, :Boys will be boys”. He forgot to add, “Boys will be men.”
