Gerard Manley Hopkins on children

Glory be to God for dappled things

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed.

There lives the dearest freshness deep down things

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.
