Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
Abbe Dimnet
Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.
Alan Bleasdale

Alastair Reid

Albert Einstein
I believe that whoever tries to think things through honestly will soon recognize how unworthy and even fatal is the traditional bias against Negroes. What can the man of good will do to combat this deeply rooted prejudice He must have the courage to set an example by words and deed, and must watch lest his children become influenced by racial bias.
Albert Einstein
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
...The electoral franchise has been conferred upon the Negroes in almost all the states in which slavery has been abolished, but if they come forward to vote, their lives are in danger... The same schools do not receive the children of the black and of the European. In the theaters gold cannot procure a seat for the servile race beside their former masters in the hospitals they lie apart... Not only is slavery prohibited in Ohio, but no free Negroes are allowed to enter the territory of that state or to hold property in it.
Alexis Charles Henri Clrel de Tocqueville
There is no reciprocity. Men love women, women love children, children love hamsters.
Alice Thomas Ellis
Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
We do not inherit the land, we borrow it from our children.
