My friend's baby will be one year old the week after next. Today she asked me to babysit for an hour so I took the opportunity to take some photos which I would like to give to them for the baby's birthday.

I would love to have a cool quote -- something about how fast time passes or how fast babys change or..... how mercruial they are.

Something really grand.

I usually stick with short quotes but I have room for something longish.

I'm in kind of a time crunch so I'm hoping my well-read A2K pals will know a perfect something!

Thank you for your help.

Here is the photo I need a quote for:

Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won

I'm glad I could help, boomer. I assume you will be using my quote and all others may now choose to ignore this thread.

We have a winner.

Oh gosh, I thought you were trying to woo me with poetry and then I learn that you are submitting that quote for my photo.

Huh.

Are you sure you're not trying to woo me because that quote seems a little ummmm..... heavy? ... sad? .... spooky? for a first birthday.

CJane, are you trying to woo me?

Just kidding.

That is very nice! Thank you! I like that one a lot.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the
laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went
skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.

-J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)

Not quite the right age, and maybe too girly, but I liked it.

Oh young one, may your bright eyes witness a world without strife. A simpler, cleaner world of tolerance and goodwill.

You deserve it.

Thanks all!

What a lot of great suggestions. I appreciate all of them and if they don't get used on this print I can think of many others they would work for.

I came across a few I like so I'm going to record them here for future reference.

"This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life."

Quote:

"Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth."
Francesca Lia Block quotes (American Author

Quote:

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these"
Susan B. Anthony quotes

Quote:

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy."
Susan Polis Schutz quotes

Now I'm off to try a few on and see what "feels" best.

Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

shewolf, this quote is perfect for something I'm working on but I can't find an attribution. Do you know where it's from?
