Children

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.

~ Thomas Szasz There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.

~ Doctor Who Children are all foreigners.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.

~ Katharine Whitehorn You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

~ John J. Plomp Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

~ George Bernard Shaw Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.

~ Mary MacCracken
