It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process.

Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.

Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.

Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.

Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.
