Re: some quotes about children

George Eliot:
"In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's."

So sweet quote...
I have a few citations:

"You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance."
Franklin P. Jones

"A little girl is sugar and spice and everything nice - especially when she's taking a nap."
Author Unknown

"A child is a curly dimpled lunatic."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

And my favorite:

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

"I am fond of children - except boys."
Lewis Carroll
