I married two weeks after my 18th birthday far too young and by the time I was 23 I was a single mother of three small children Sean Daniel and Victoria living in a prefab house.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

I had arranged a birthday party for him and my children who are all Aquarians. Instead we got married. I ran out of excuses. It was just us and my children.

I hate birthdays. I thought that I only hated my own birthday and then I realized that I hate my children's birthdays too.

Anybody can have a birthday. It requires nothing. Murderers have birthdays. It's the opposite of anything that I believe in. And I don't like at work where you stop everything to sing 'Happy Birthday' to someone. I feel like that's for children.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

Studies show that children best flourish when one mom and one dad are there to raise them.

Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.

The Left Elite only pretend to be concerned about what's best for everyone else because it is the most effective way to manipulate you and your children into their abyss.

It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge mathematical knowledge physical knowledge and so forth.

The Supreme Court has insulted you over and over again Lord. They've taken your Bible away from the schools. They've forbidden little children to pray. They've taken the knowledge of God as best they can and organizations have come into court to take the knowledge of God out of the public square of America.

The best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

Massachusetts children cannot only lead the nation in test scores they can be competitive with the best in the world. And the gap in achievement among races can virtually disappear.

I believe the best service to the child is the service closest to the child and children who are victims of neglect abuse or abandonment must not also be victims of bureaucracy. They deserve our devoted attention not our divided attention.

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years scold them. By the time they turn sixteen treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

I have a fantastic wife and not only in terms of external beauty. Her priority and mine is our children. That is our choice.

We have magnificent brains but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.

You too women cast away all the cowards from your embraces they will give you only cowards for children and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must bear children who are noble and brave.

The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones - which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones.

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit beauty intelligence the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.

I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family and my children brought me back some of that spirit.
