The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'

Difficulty my brethren is the nurse of greatness - a harsh nurse who roughly rocks her foster - children into strength and athletic proportion.

I like writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my books for them I try to put this right.

We get strength and encouragement from watching children.

It requires more strength to be gentle so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.

God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control small disciplines of prayer feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.

Absolutely the worst thing about this job is the travel and being away from family. I have a wife and three wonderful children the kids are all active in sports and it's very difficult to up and leave and miss them growing up.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

They wanted me to play more sports because they were acutely sensitive to their children being one hundred percent American and they believed that all Americans played sports and loved sports.

I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

I didn't go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.

For truly it is to be noted that children's plays are not sports and should be deemed as their most serious actions.

I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.

My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.

Methamphetamine is a hideous drug. Meth makes a person become paranoid violent and aggressive - making them a serious threat to society and law enforcement. And maybe more importantly meth users are a threat to their own children and families.

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children especially the ones who need our help.

We do a disservice to society if we ignore the evidence which shows that stable families tend to be associated with better outcomes for children.

If you want a free society teach your children what oppression tastes like. Tell them how many miracles it takes to get from here to there. Above all encourage them to ask questions. Teach them to think for themselves.

What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.

We must not inflict life on children who will be resented we must not inflict unwanted children on society.

But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society.

What's done to children they will do to society.

Women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently.
