A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five. Groucho Marx quotes Never have ideas about children -- and never have ideas for them. D.H. Lawrence quotes Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other. Francis Bacon, Sr. quotes The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it. Jean-Jacques Rousseau quotes The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity. Maria Montessori quotes You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. Kahlil Gibran quotes I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books---a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. Albert Einstein quotes The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. Albert Einstein quotes Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
