(page 3)
Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.

Feeling gratitude isn't born in us — it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
I think children of divorced parents do grow up quicker. You just do.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
My children are the reason I laugh, smile and want to get up every morning.

We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.
Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.
I have frequently gained my first real insight into the character of parents by studying their children.
There is the myth that writing books for children is easier than writing books for grownups, whereas we know that truly great books for children are works of genius, whether it's 'Alice in Wonderland' or the 'Gruffalo' or 'Northern Lights'. When it's a great book, it's a great book, whether it's for children or not.
It is only through raising expectations and striving for excellence that our children can reach their full potential.
