Quotes about children by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare
 

The only way to reform them (children) is to win them over with love. So long as a child is unfriendly, you can't mend his ways.
 

Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
 

Only through right education can a better order of society be built up.

The vast army of children across the world, outwardly different kinds of clothes, and yet so very like another. If you bring them together, they play or quarrel, but even their quarrel is some kind of play
 

At school, they learn many things, which are no doubt useful, but they gradually forget that essential thing to be human and kind, playful and make life richer for ourselves and others
