Quote

The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.

To bring a healthy child into this world, raise them right and watch them grow is the biggest miracle there is.

Be ever watchful for the opportunity to shelter little children with the umbrella of your charity; be generous to their schools, their hospitals, and their places of worship. For, as they must bear the burdens of our mistakes, so are they in their innocence the repositories of our hopes for the upward progress of humanity.

Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion.

We await the successsive births in the soul of the child. We give all possible material, that nothing may lack to the groping soul, and then we watch for the perfect faculty to come, safeguarding the child from interruption so that it may carry its efforts through.

No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

It is only through raising expectations and striving for excellence that our children can reach their full potential.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.

The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature.
