Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.
Michael Jackson

Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.
Michael Jackson

Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.
Michael Jackson

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.
Michael Jackson

Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever.
Michael Jackson

I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me.
Michael Jackson

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
Thomas Paine

How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.
Voltaire

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
Colin Powell

The United Nations organization has proclaimed 1979 as the Year of the Child. Are the children to receive the arms race from us as a necessary inheritance?
Pope John Paul II

It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?
Dwight L. Moody

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
George Orwell

Part of the reason for the ugliness of adults, in a child's eyes, is that the child is usually looking upwards, and few faces are at their best when seen from below.
George Orwell

Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
P. J. O'Rourke

There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke

There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all.
Jackie Kennedy

A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.
George W. Bush

Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?
Epictetus
