Love childhood, indulge its sports, its pleasures, its delightful instincts. Who has not sometimes regretted that age when laughter was ever on the lips, and when the heart was ever at peace? ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The only moral lesson which is suited for a child — the most important lesson for every time of life — is this: ‘Never hurt anybody’ ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There’s no such thing as a tough child — if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender ― W. C. Fields
