Babies bring to mind many precious memories from men and women of all ages. Here are many memories captured in quotes from people you may recognize and see your self – and your baby – reflected in, in some small ways.
"It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money." - Elinor Goulding Smith
"When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels." -Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on." ~Carl Sandburg
"Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time." - P.J. O'Rourke
"You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're going." - P.J. O'Rourke
"Every baby needs a lap." - Henry Robin
"A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother." - Mark Twain
"Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out." - Matthew Broderick
"Babies are such a nice way to start people." - Don Herrold
"Children are supposed to help hold a marriage together. They do this in a number of ways. For instance, they demand so much attention that a husband and wife, concentrating on their children, fail to notice each other's faults." - Richard Armour
"If you were to open up a baby's head - and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should - you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland." ~Dave Barry
"Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty." - George Eliot Romola
