Time Changes Everyone Quotes

To nourish children and raise them against the odds is, in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.

Marilyn French

Sensible people get the greater part of their own dying done during their own lifetime.

Samuel Butler

When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves.

Fred Rogers

There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.

Peter De Vries

Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.

Albert Camus

It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.

Albert Camus

Jim Wallis

Obama is neither a socialist, nor a mere political accountant. He has some modest ideals, and may yet be an excellent president. But what is needed to revive liberal idealism is a set of new ideas on how to promote justice, equality and freedom in the world. Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev, assisted in the end of an ideology, which once offered hope, and inspired real progress, but resulted in slavery and mass murder. We are still waiting for a new vision, which will lead to progress, but this time, we hope, without tyranny.
