Thomas Bailey Aldrich

"To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent — that is to triumph over old age."

Dave Barry

"The best babysitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida."

Marjory Barslow-Greenbie

"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature / But beautiful old people are works of art."

Teresa Bloomingdale

"If your baby is 'beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time,' you're the grandma."

Rachel Carson

"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in."

Jimmy Carter

"Because (grandparents) are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations."

Bill Cosby

"What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they can but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate."

Marcy DeMaree

"Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete."

Mary Mapes Dodge

"Grandma told me all about it, / Told me so I couldn't doubt it, / How she danced, my grandma danced; long ago...."

John Donne

"No spring, nor summer hath such grace. As I have seen in one autumnal face."

Edward H. Dreschnack

"Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother."
