INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR A CHILD
Sadly, as Peter Pan said: All children, except
one, grow up. We have a very limited time to frame our inspirational quote for a child. And while ... A person's a person no
matter how small. ... we can only call them a "child" for so long. An inspirational quote for a child seemed to inspire a sense of wonder, such as this one from Rachel Carson: If I had influence with the good fairy who is
supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that
her gift to each child in the world would be a sense of wonder so
indestructible that it would last throughout life. Or this one from Pope John Paul II: We need the enthusiasm of the young. We
need their joie de vivre. In it is reflected something of the original
joy God had in creating man. There's only one pretty child in the
world, Truth, which is important to a scholar, has
got to be concrete. And there is nothing more concrete than dealing with
babies, burps and bottles, frogs and mud. Children are a kind of confirmation of
life. The only form of immortality that we can be sure of. Children make you want to start life over. When I approach a child, he inspires me in
two sentiments: tenderness for what he is and a respect for what he may
become. What is a child, monsieur, but the image of
two beings, the fruit of two sentiments spontaneously blended? Give a little love to a child, and you get a
great deal back. Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your
flight, We wove a web in childhood Youths have a tremendous advantage over their
elders in possessing the power of vision without the drawback of retrospect. Young people are in a condition like
permanent intoxication, because youth is sweet and they are growing. All kids need is a little help, a litte
hope, There are two lasting bequests we can hope to
give our children: One of these is roots. The other, wings. Our greatest natural resource is the minds of
our children. Back to top of Inspirational Quote for a Child

Peter is a friend I had in the 4th grade. When I read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" may years later, Peter is the person who came to mind.
