The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.

Maria Montessori

We accept every person in the world as that for which he gives himself out, only he must give himself out for something. We can put up with the unpleasant more easily than we can endure the insignificant.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.

Maria Montessori

Oak, granite, Lilies by the road, Remember me? I remember you. Clouds brushing Clover hills, Remember me? Sister, child, Grown tall, Remember me? I remember you.

Gail Carson Levine

For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.

Ellen Key

When the crying child is immediately isolated, and it is explained to him at the same time that whoever annoys others must not be with them, if this isolation is the absolute result and cannot be avoided, in the child's mind a basis is laid for the experience that one must be alone when one makes oneself unpleasant or disagreeable.

Ellen Key

What makes Hulk afraid? It's himself. It's a version of himself that's weak. It's a version of himself that's vulnerable. It's a child inside of him.

Mark Ruffalo

Again and again it astonishes us that God makes himself a child so that we may love him, so that we may dare to love him, and as a child trustingly lets himself be taken into our arms. It is as if God were saying: I know that my glory frightens you, and that you are trying to assert yourself in the face of my grandeur. So now I am coming to you as a child, so that you can accept me and love me.

Pope Benedict XVI

A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.

Sophocles

A child should never even think about being a "good son." A parent decides that fate for the child. The parent encourages that. Not the child himself. And the "perfect dad"? I shudder at thinking what that may be.

Bret Easton Ellis

What’s the use of remembering anything? If it was unpleasant it was unpleasant and if it was pleasant it’s over.

Elaine Dundy

Cleaning cat litter is an unpleasant daily chore for me, but the DuraScoop makes it much less unpleasant.

Mark Frauenfelder

I grew up in the Fifties and Sixties and remember how unpleasant all kinds of food could be then.

Art Malik

Let us remember, so far as we can, that every unpleasant thought is a bad thing literally put into the body.

Prentice Mulford

Perhaps a child, like a cat, is so much inside of himself that he does not see himself in the mirror.

Anais Nin

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better , if less "showily." Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself... Teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences.
