"You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back." ~William D. TammeusWhich is your favorite? Have any others to share?
Oh man, the first one, I can identify with. I don't even have kids, I have a 7-year-old sister-in-law. It's amazing how much you learn about yourself when you want to share with younger people! I love it though.
ReplyDeleteThese quotes are great! The last one (your favorite) is so heart-warming and I love it as well. I think my fave of the other ones is "Children are our most valuable resource." Being a future teacher, I am reminded to that all the time and it is a huge concern of mine that we as a country are not putting enough time/energy/resources into our greatest and most valuable resource.
