Joy

"Joy delights in joy. "

--William Shakespeare

Innocence

"Innocence is like polished armor; it adorns and defends."

--Robert South

To be a child...

"Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul."

--Francis Thompson
