Children

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?

The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.

There is no cure for stupid wives and willful children.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Though we have the courage to raise our daughters more like our sons, we’ve rarely had the courage to raise our sons like our daughters.

To love a cow, tie it up. To love a child, hit it.

We can make a commitment to promote vegetables and fruits and whole grains on every part of every menu. We can make portion sizes smaller and emphasize quality over quantity. And we can help create a culture - imagine this - where our kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.

We can't blame children for occupying themselves with Facebook rather than playing in the mud. Our society doesn't put a priority on connecting with nature. In fact, too often we tell them it's dirty and dangerous.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

What is really pernicious is the practice of teaching children that faith itself is a virtue.

You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.

You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.
