Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness.

The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.

Lisa Dollar

When an adult says, 'Hi,' he means, 'I acknowledge your presence.' When a child says, 'Hi,' he means, 'I like you. Let's play tag, and afterwards we can throw sand at each other.' I hope I always say hi like a child.

Elizabeth Edwards

If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who's important to them, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn't forget they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that's a great, great gift.

Albert Einstein

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

William Feather

Setting a good example for children takes all the fun out of middle age.
