-Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
-Life is a school of probability.
-A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
-Smile if it kills you.
-There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.
-Family is a mixed blessing. You're glad to have one, but it's also like receiving a life sentence for a crime you didn't commit.
-It is hazardous to shake a family tree. One never knows what will fall out.
- 'A brother is a friend given by Nature.' ~ Jean Baptiste Legouve
- To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~ Clara Ortega
(About Family)
One of the greatest gifts
That life can give to anyone
Is the very special love that families share...
As years go by,
It's good to know that there will always be
Certain people in our lives who care.
For there are countless things
That only families have in common
And memories that no one else can make...
And these precious ties that bind a family together
Are bonds that time and distance cannot break.
How fortunate we are
When we have relatives to love us,
It makes the world a happy place to be...
Few gifts in life
Will last as long
Or touch the heart as deeply
As the very special gift
Of family.
-Craig S. Tunks
(About Children)
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down, cobwebs
Dust, go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.
-Anon.
You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.
-Pau (Pablo) Casals
Most of the people who will walk behind me will be children so make the beat keep time with short steps.
-Hans Christian Andersen
This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.
-Aristotle
Toys tossed on the floor
Hand prints on the wall
Slamming of the door
And footsteps down the hall
Boxes made into towers
Covers turned into tents
Voices get a lil' louder
Guide lines get a lil' bent
Boxes now go untouched
Covers in a folded pile
Silence never was so much
Guide lines never been n' awhile
Did we waste our time a way
We once had back then
Never taking time to play
To 'oft we walked right past them
Now they're grown and gone
The house stands still and neat
Only memories left to carry on
Oh, how our hearts do often weep
Would we change time if we could
Would we play a bigger part
Did we get to wrapped up in the world
For now we're left with just
Memories of the heart.
-Gloria Babb
There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
-Erma Bombeck
There are only two lasting bequests we can can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings.
-William Hodding Carter, Jr.
Alas, regardless of their doom,
the little victims play!
No sense have they of ills to come,
Nor care beyond to-day.
-Thomas Gray
Make a memory with your children,
Spend some time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can't replace those
Precious moments that you share.
Money doesn't buy real pleasure,
It doesn't matter where you live;
Children need your own attention,
Something only you can give.
Childhood's days pass all too quickly,
Happy memories all too few;
Plan to do that special something,
Take the time to go or do.
Make a memory with your children,
Take the time in busy days;
Have some fun while they are growing,
Show your love in gentle ways.
'Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.'
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery
ABOUT Mothers
All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.'
-Franklin P. Jones
For a mother is the only person on earth
Who can divide her love among ten children
And each child still have all her love.
-Anon.
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
-Anon
'A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.'
-Cardinal Mermillod
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.'
-George Eliot
'Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.'
-Erich Fromm
RICHER THAN GOLD
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --
I had a mother who read to me.
-Strickland Gillilan
'The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.'
-Theodore Hesburgh
'A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.'
-Tenneva Jordan
