Dinah Maria Murlock Craik Quotes About Children

Quotes about: Children

• Let every one of us cultivate, in every word that issues from our mouth, absolute truth. I say cultivate, because to very few people - as may be noticed of most young children - does truth, this rigid, literal veracity, come by nature. To many, even who love it and prize it dearly in others, it comes only after the self-control, watchfulness, and bitter experience of years.

  "A Woman's Thoughts About Women" by Dinah Maria Murlock Craik, (Ch. 8), 1858.

• Unless a woman has a decided pleasure and facility in teaching, an honest knowledge of everything she professes to impart, a liking for children, and, above all, a strong moral sense of her responsibility towards them, for her to attempt to enroll herself in the scholastic order is absolute profanation.

• We expect too much from our children. We exact from them a perfection which we are far from carrying out in ourselves; we require of them sacrifices much heavier, comparatively, than those of any grown-up person.

  Children, Sacrifice, Perfection

• God rest ye, little children; let nothing you afright,
  For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;
  Along the hills of Galilee the white blocks sleeping lay,
  When Christ, the child of Nazareth, was born on Christmas day.
