If we could only follow these sage pieces of advice to protect and enhance the lives of our “little ones”!

From a great source I found: About.com

From Winston Churchill
"There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies."

 From Mother Theresa
"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush; anxious for greater developments and greater wishes and so on; so that children have very little time for their parents; Parents have very little time for each other; and the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world."

 From Robert Henri
"Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not."

Anonymous
"Children are natural mimics -- they act like their parents in spite of every attempt to teach them good manners."

 From Josh Billings

"Train up a child in the way he should go -- and walk there yourself once in a while.

From a small Magazine called "Bits and Pieces" comes this Chinese Proverb.  It is very powerful if you think about it!

"A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark."

Please God, may we all leave gentle and loving marks!

Another great thought-provoking quote from a nurse named Virginia Kelley:

"There's nothing like a newborn baby to renew your spirit - and to buttress your resolve to make the world a better place."

This should be printed in large letters and put up somewhere in Congress!!

From Lee Iacocca, Auto Executive:

No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have your really accomplished?"

Amen.  The Family is everything.
