You are a marvel
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the
universe that will never be again... And what do we teach
our children? That two and two make four, and that Paris
is the capital of France.
We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a
marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never
been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the
way you move,...all are wonderful.
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven, you have the
capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can
you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?
We must all work to make the world worthy of its children.
- Pablo Casals
What we sincerely believe regarding ourselves is true for us.
- Orison Swett Marden
If you treat an individual as if he were what he ought to be and
could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
