Today is Universal Children’s Day, a day where globally the world honours our children. The young folk are particularly amazing, honest, curious and fascinated by everything that goes on around them. Here are ten amazing quotes about children for the day that’s in it...
1. Telling it like it is.
“When kids hit 1 year old, it’s like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.” Johnny Depp
2. The courageous.
“It’s the children the world almost breaks who grow up to save it.” Frank Warren.
3. The thinkers.
“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” John F. Kennedy.
4. Good will always triumph over evil.
“Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favour by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.” Walt Disney
5. Heroes.
“Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.” Fred Rogers
6. Forgiveness.
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.” Oscar Wilde
7. Thinking
“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” Margaret Mead
8. Learning.
“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.” George Bernard Shaw
9. All is wonderful.
“It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.” Roald Dahl
10. Intelligence
“If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.” Norman Douglas
