Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children before they are aware of their own self-importance learn so easily.

If we want our children to value education then we must show our appreciation for knowledge.

And most importantly perhaps children can learn about their rights share their knowledge with the children of other nations identify problems with them and establish how they might work together to address them.

And that's what I truly believe that we're doing when we're advancing scientific knowledge is we're someday making the world better. Not only for our children but for all people after that.

The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them.

You make knowledge relevant to life and you make it important for children to learn things that will really relate to things going on in their lives and not abstract.

Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.

Although modesty is natural to man it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.

It's the continuation of everyone's childhood to see these young children who grow up full of life full of intelligence full of a sense of wonder. And within an instant they're gone from this world. It's terrible.

It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health.

Prince Charles is an absolute Mountbatten. The real intelligence in the royal family comes through my parents to Prince Philip and the children.

Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents teachers and with each other carry emotional messages.

Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor for their curiosity their intolerance of shams the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.

I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.

The Polar Express is about faith and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It's also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen the kind of world we all believed in as children but one that disappears as we grow older.

But there is so much more to do for the city we love... a Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses parks as beautiful as our children a downtown as tall as our imagination.

Grandchildren have taught me how important the future is. I try to look through their eyes and envision what's in their imagination. What's the world going to look like when they're my age? That really does take a huge imagination.

It's a wonderful thing working with young actors. I know a lot of people don't like working with children. I actually adore it because you watch their imagination open up and you watch them start to learn this job that I've been doing for so long. They come with such a lack of cynicism.

Although I do not have a family I have eyes ears and imagination and know as most people know that the importance of one's children is paramount.

Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.

In my wildest imagination I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts - in a poor black neighborhood in the poor rural community of Eufaula Oklahoma - would someday be called Congressman.

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs. Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.

Children do not give up their innate imagination curiosity dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that.

It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection which makes us believe and it is not true that as children we were imaginative?
