Charles Dickens

One of my favorite quotes is from The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens:

I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.

I once found the quote on a Mary Englebreit gift card:

I like to send this card to people who have just had a baby, usually with a note that says "I hope that your child brings you as much joy as my children have brought to me."
