If you remember back to your childhood, I'm sure that like me, some of your favorite memories are those that revolved around your parents reading to you. Some of my favorite days started or ended by laying in bed reading a book with one, or both of my parents. Children's books may not have meant much to you back then but if you read through them today, you'll find that many of these books had some of the most amazing and inspirational quotes.
