My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status regardless of the pest.

Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad.

Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child I think. I was a liar.

My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.

But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

You know my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now I understand why. If I do my job well I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

What is a normal childhood? We weren't rich we were pretty middle-class. My dad survived from job to job with him taking care of so many relatives he couldn't save any money.

When a father absent during the day returns home at six his children receive only his temperament not his teaching.

Thirteen 13 children and I love - I love them all. And I think I've been a good father to all of them.

My father loved people children and pets.

Child-rearing is my main interest now. I'm a hands-on father.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

My father never raised his hand to any one of his children except in self-defense.

The child is father of the man.

I hope I am remembered by my children as a good father.

The fundamental defect of fathers in our competitive society is that they want their children to be a credit to them.

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.

And as a child I was filled with passionate admiration for acts of civic courage I had seen performed by an elderly military doctor who was a friend of my family.

I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me that concerns me - I find fault.

Courage: Great Russian word fit for the songs of our children's children pure on their tongues and free.

I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at.

In times of conflict war poverty or religious fundamentalism women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.
