Rich or poor, every child comes into the world with some imperative need of its own, which shapes its individuality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Children are to be born into a family where the parents hold the needs of children equal to their own in importance. And children are to love parents and each other.
Every young person has to bear the burden - heavier in proportion as the individuality is richer - of accommodating himself to existence now that it is no longer seen with the eyes of a child, the eyes to which everything is as it should be.
Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well.
The children who are 'our future' will inherit a world created not just by parental devotion but by the sort of zealous, focused endeavors that can preclude good parenting.
We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.
The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money, power on earth.
A lot of children grow up in poverty with flawed parents, but their inner world is still as inherently filled with wonder and innocence as children who are kept away from the city's underbelly.
We develop the kind of citizens we deserve. If a large number of our children grow up into frustration and poverty, we must expect to pay the price.
Every child is a greedy child, I think. I mean, it's healthy to be a greedy child.
Every child, and every person, deserves a chance to make something of themselves.
