• The child must know that he/she is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him/ her. (Pablo Casals)

• I've learned that people will forget what you have said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)

• Don't ask what the world needs.Ask what makes you come alive, and go and do it.Because what the world needs are people who have come alive. (Howard Thurman)

• Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. (Henry Ward Beecher)
