We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.

Always kiss your children goodnight even if they're already asleep.

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.

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

We can't blame children for occupying themselves with Facebook rather than playing in the mud. Our society doesn't put a priority on connecting with nature. In fact too often we tell them it's dirty and dangerous.

That's all about the natural order of things the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature.

It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.

Of all nature's gifts to the human race what is sweeter to a man than his children?

Life has loveliness to sell all beautiful and splendid things blue waves whitened on a cliff soaring fire that sways and sings and children's faces looking up holding wonder like a cup.

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.

But for the children of the poorest people we're stripping the curriculum removing the arts and music and drilling the children into useful labor. We're not valuing a child for the time in which she actually is a child.

I like movies about longing and desperation and dark and light things stories about people struggling to raise children and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

I really like children to watch my movies.

My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.

I don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.

Each of our children during their high school years went to 'early morning seminary' - scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.

I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.

Hezbollah's contempt for human suffering is total as it showed once again this morning when its rockets murdered two Israeli Arab children in Nazareth.

When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children' it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine what's for dinner?

In the last year my wife has noticed me struggling to get downstairs on a Sunday morning. I've two young children and football has been so good to me over the years I don't want to spoil it.

I had three children while doing a show as demanding as 'Good Morning America ' so this is - you know it's almost like I'm less daunted about motherhood and parenting at this point in time. And I think I'm just much more fit and healthy than I was 20-years-ago.

But to the slave mother New Year's day comes laden with peculiar sorrows. She sits on her cold cabin floor watching the children who may all be torn from her the next morning and often does she wish that she and they might die before the day dawns.

It's fairness to say those who work hard get up in the morning cut their cloth - in other words 'we can only afford to have one or two children because we don't earn enough'. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision-making is taking place for those on benefits.
