Quotes Describing Children

There are children playing in the street who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.   J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, quoted in Pearls of Wisdom

Children's games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.
MONTAIGNE, Essays

The deeds of the children are a testament to the upbringing they received from their parents.
CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI, Brisingr

NOTABLE QUOTES: retrieved from http://www.notable-quotes.com/c/children_quotes.html

Observing children and their play will teach us a pristine way of solving problems and having relationships.  Watching children show us how simple life can be if we do not complicate it with worries and power struggles.
Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
BIBLE, Mark 10:14

And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  Bible, Deuteronomy 11:19
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.     Bible, Psalm 34:11

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
BIBLE, Proverbs 22:6

I include some Scriptures to show God's respect and endearment for children and how He wants us to allow them to teach us.
