Seven Wonders....

There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million. ~Walt Streightiff

Little men already..

Children are contemptuous, haughty, irritable, envious, sneaky, selfish, lazy, flighty, timid, liars and hypocrites, quick to laugh and cry, extreme in expressing joy and sorrow, especially about trifles, they'll do anything to avoid pain but they enjoy inflicting it: little men already. ~Jean de La Bruyère, Les Caractères, 1688

Everything in Nothing..

Children find everything in nothing; men find nothing in everything. ~Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone Scelto

I am the King...

I am,
indeed,
a king,
because I know how
to rule myself.

Kids...

We worry...

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

Celebrate it...

Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
