"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."-Book of Matthew, chapter 19, verse 14.

"...the advent of Jesus Christ upon earth was required to teach that all the members of the human race are by nature equal and alike."
             -Alexis de Tocqueville (1835)



"Jesus loves the little children,

"All the children of the world.

"Red and yellow, black and white,

"All are precious in his sight,

Jesus loves the little children of the world."
