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.'
Gabriela MistralThere is the joy of being healthy and fair, but there is overall the beauty, the immense joy of being useful.
Gabriela MistralI have all that I lost and I go carrying my childhood like a favorite flower that perfumes my hand.
Gabriela Mistral
