We call a child's mind "small" simply by habit; perhaps
it is larger than ours is, for it can take in almost
anything without effort.
Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because
it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us
from seeing things that we don't expect to see.
Children's games are hardly games. Children are never
more serious than when they play.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity
in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
The most interesting information comes from children,
for they tell all they know and then stop.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons
and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came
through you but not from you and though they are with
you yet they belong not to you.
Albert Einstein
Mark Twain
Khalil Gibran
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because
they are more certain they are their own.
Most children feel immortal--they have no sense that
they're ever going to die. For a child, even growing
up is something that's barely comprehensible.
Our children are the only possessions we can take to heaven.
Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Love these quotes and read Kahlil's before I had my own children but it has always stayed in the background of my mind. It helps when they grow up and leave the nest. Always a painful experience for a mother.
ReplyDeleteA child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown don’t mean nothing to a mother.
