~ Robert Pollok

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health, is a responsibility which most of
us, including me, avoid
most of the time because
it's too hard. ~ John Lennon

 

Your children need your presence more than your presents. ~ Jesse Jackson

If you bungle raising
your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.
~ Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

 

Children need models rather than critics. ~ Joseph Joubert

A torn jacket is soon mended but hard words bruise the heart of a child.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

What is done to children, they will do to society.
~ Karl A. Menninger

Live so that when your
children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.

You are the bows from
which your children,
as living arrows,
are sent forth.
~ Kahlil Gibran
