Rabindranath Tagore on children

God seeks comrades and claims love,
the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.

If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their
food, and tyrannize their teachers.

Socrates470–399 BC

Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.

Bill Cosbyborn 1937

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
