1. "A baby is God's way of saying the world should go on." - Doris Smith
2. "My Dad knew I was going to be a comedian. When I was a baby he said, 'Is this a joke?" - Ken Dodd
3.
"Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant;
food as necessary as minerals, vitamins, and proteins. Deprived of this
food, the name of which is love, Babies would rather die. And often they
do." - Frederick Leboyer
4. "I always wondered why babies spend so much time sucking their thumbs. Then I tasted "baby food." - Robert Orben
5.
"Did you ever notice that a new baby always seem to bear a striking
resemblance to the relative who has the most money?" - Robert Paul
6.
"There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the
right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't
get it." - Irena Chalmers
7. "You should never say anything to a
woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless
you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment." - Dave
Barry, "Things That It Took Me 50 Years to Learn"
8. "It sometimes
happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is
not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your
wits about you and borrow some money." - Elinor Goulding Smith
9.
"Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from
crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make
loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more
often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into
shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a
rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager
and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all
the time." - P.J. O'Rourke
10. "It is a pleasant thing to reflect
upon, and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the
gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the
world is a finer one than the last." - Charles Dickens
11. "If
you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred
that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear
you call dear baby 'it'." -Jerome K. Jerome
12. "Every new baby is
a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable
to register an effective political protest against extermination do so
by a biological act." - Lewis Mumford
13. "Babies are necessary to
grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder,
hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its
trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete... babies are
almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of
living things from which we spring." - Eda J. Le Shan
14. "A woman
has two smiles that an angel might envy - the smile that accepts a
lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first
born babe, and assures it of a mother's love." - Thomas C. Haliburton
15. "I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw this kid up." - Russell Bishop
16. "Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other." - Ed Howe
17. "If you want a baby, have a new one. Don't baby the old one." - Jessamyn West
18. "There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies." - Winston Churchill
19. "People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one." -Leo J. Burke
20. "A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it." - Frank A. Clark
