I am sure that all people know deep down inside that the little child in the mother's womb is a human being from the moment of conception, created in the image of God to love and be loved. Let us pray that nobody will be afraid to protect that little child, to help that little child to be born. Jesus said: 'If you receive a little child in my name, you receive me.'

Mother Teresa

The greatest of all gifts is the power to estimate things at their true worth

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.

Edward McKendree Bounds

The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement.

Germaine Greer

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom.

Maya Angelou

I'd give all the wealth that years have piled, the slow result of life's decay, To be once more a little child for one bright summer day.

Lewis Carroll

Anyone, without any great penetration, may distinguish the dispositions consequent on wealth; for its possessors are insolent and overbearing, from being tainted in a certain way by the getting of their wealth. For they are affected as though they possessed every good; since wealth is a sort of standard of the worth of other things; whence every thing seems to be purchasable by it.

Aristotle

If only one little unhappy child is made happy with the love of Jesus,...will it not be worth...giving all for that?

Mother Teresa

If you wish to be like a little child, study what a little child could understand — nature; and do what a little child could do — love.

Charles Kingsley

The distribution of wealth is even more unequal than that of income. ...The wealthiest 5% of American households held 54% of all wealth reported in the 1989 survey. Their share rose to 61% in 2010 and reached 63% in 2013. By contrast, the rest of those in the top half of the wealth distribution ?families that in 2013 had a net worth between $81,000 and $1.9 million ?held 43% of wealth in 1989 and only 36% in 2013.

Janet Yellen

A man tends to over-estimate what he can do in one year...and under-estimate what he can do in five.

Theodore Wilhelm Engstrom

Not very long ago some one invented the assertion that there were only "Four Hundred" people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen - the census taker - and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the "Four Million.

O. Henry

...the contribution of greenhouse gases to the Vostok temperature changes can be...between a lower estimate of 40% and a higher estimate of 65%.

Claude Lorius

Every individual forms his own estimate of himself and that basic estimate goes far toward determining what he becomes.

Norman Vincent Peale

I myself will perhaps cry out with all the rest, looking at the mother embracing her child's tormentor: 'Just art thou, O Lord!' but I do not want to cry out with them. While there's still time, I hasten to defend myself against it, and therefore I absolutely renounce all higher harmony. It is not worth one little tear of even that one tormented child who beat her chest with her little fist and prayed to 'dear God' in a stinking outhouse with her unredeemed tears!
