“We are guilty of many errors and many
faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the
children, neglecting the fountain of life.
Many of the things we need can wait. The
child cannot. Right now is the time his bones
are being formed, his blood is being made,
and his senses are being developed. To him
we cannot answer ‘tomorrow.’ His name is
today.”
