The best brought-up children are those who have seen their parents as they are. Hypocrisy is not the parents' first duty.
George Bernard Shaw
Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
Anthony Powell
The trouble with learning to parent on the job is that your child is the teacher.
Robert Brault
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jesse Jackson
There comes a time when a woman needs to stop thinking about her looks and focus her energies on raising her children. This time comes at the moment of conception. A child needs a role model, not a supermodel.
Astrid Alauda
Always kiss your children goodnight - even if they're already asleep.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
Elizabeth Stone
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Sun Tzu
Water helped ancient man learn those first lessons about the rights of others and responsibility to a larger society.... It became part of the moral and mental legacy parents passed on to their children.
M. Meyer
Children of a culture born in a water-rich environment, we have never really learned how important water is to us. We understand it, but we do not respect it.
WILLIAM ASHWORTH
In light of the substantial attention given this case by the Supreme Court, I believe my continued participation would create a distraction of no benefit to the parents or the best interest of the child.
Carl Lewis
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. One great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke
Permissiveness and inconsistency with growing children do them more harm than some physical ailments.
