"Your first duty is to be humane. Love……" — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"Your first duty is to be humane. Love childhood. Look with friendly eyes on its games, its pleasures, its amiable dispositions. Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?"

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
