A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
~Carl Sandburg
...a little child, born yesterday,
A thing on mother's milk and kisses fed...
~"Hymn to Mercury" (one of the Homeric Hymns), translated from Greek by Percy Bysshe Shelley
When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels.
~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
"Childhood is the world of miracle and
wonder; as if creation rose, bathed in
the light, out of the darkness, utterly new
and fresh and astonishing. The end of childhood
is when things cease to astonish us."
Source: Eugene Ionesco
"I think miracles exist in part as gifts
and in part as clues that there is some-
thing beyond the flat world we see."
Source: Peggy Noonan
"It is a miracle that curiosity
survives formal education."
Source: Albert Einstein
"Miracles are unexpected joys, surprising
coincidences, unexplainable experiences,
astonishing beauties... absolutely anything
that happens in the course of my day,
except that at this moment I'm able
to recognize its special value."

"The child must know that he 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."
Source: Pablo Casals
"We must not allow the clock and the
calendar to blind us to the fact that each
moment of life is a miracle and mystery."
Source: H. G. Wells
"When we do the best we can, we
never know what miracle is wrought
in our life, or in the life of another."
Source: Helen Keller
"Both magic and miracles
need only for you to believe
for them to happen."

"When I looked into your fluttering little eyes I witnessed eternity."
