Children
(page 6)
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.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
My children teach me to slow down and enjoy life.
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.
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.
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.
When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy, because 'sacrifice' infers that there was something better to do than being with your children.
Real fatherhood means love and commitment and sacrifice and a willingness to share responsibility and not walking away from one's children.
Those who do not cherish affection for their parents, spouses and children and for their homes, villages and workplaces cannot love their country and fellow people; they can never become genuine patriots.
Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory; children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.
