Children
(page 3)
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
My marks were always bad, and I was a bad influence on other children, so they would explain to my mother that they could retain me only by being partial towards me, and so I should offer to leave the school myself. I would barely get 40-50% and was also extremely naughty.
Childhood vaccines are one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Indeed, parents whose children are vaccinated no longer have to worry about their child's death or disability from whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis, or a host of other infections.
In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.
I believe deeply that children are more powerful than oil, more beautiful than rivers, more precious than any other natural resource a country can have.
The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author; salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure.
When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing — just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them.
My children teach me to slow down and enjoy life.
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Parents do not have the courage to say no to certain things that their children demand. They are rather scared of their children.
We need to stand as a nation, a state, a community to protect wildlife and wild places for our children.
Most parents would not hesitate to assume responsibility for their child's behavior on a playground, at school, or in someone else's home. What happens online should be no different. Parents should talk with their children about computer ethics, stipulate rules of conduct, and — most importantly — establish consequences.
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.
