Christian Nestell Bovee Children Quotations

Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity.

Judicious praise is to children what the sun is to flowers.

We may learn from children how large a part of our grievances is imaginary. But the pain is just as real.

Words of praise, indeed, are almost as necessary to warm a child into a genial life as acts of kindness and affection. Judicious praise is to children what the sun is to flowers.

A mother's love is indeed the golden link that binds youth to age; and he is still but a child, however time may have furrowed his cheek, or silvered his brow, who can yet recall, with a softened heart, the fond devotion, or the gentle chidings, of the best friend that God gives us.
