People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can't pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as exotic but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over. They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free. – Hubert Humphrey	added by anonymous 10 years ago

So many children are looking for peace. – Fujiko Sasaki	added by anonymous 10 years ago

If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be thus placed in order, that it is a good and pleasing arrangement in the room, this ordered and tranquil adjustment of theirs -- then their remaining in their places, quiet and silent, is the result of a species of lesson, not an imposition. To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing. – Maria Montessori	added by anonymous 11 years ago
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children. – Margaret Mead	added by anonymous 11 years ago
Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth.

And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help. – Margaret Mead	added by anonymous 11 years ago
