There will come a time when you believe everything is
finished. That will be the beginning.
~Louis L'Amour

 

 

 

 

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps
the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the
last test and proof, the work for which all other work
is but preparation.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

 

 

 



Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness
which does not bow before children.
~Kahlil Gibran

 

 

 



This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred
veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally,
to take a step without feet.
~Rumi

 

 

 



What the caterpillar calls the end of the world,
the master calls a butterfly.
~Richard Bach

 

 

 



Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.
~Chinese Proverb

 

 

 

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way
of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants,
and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in
the end they always fall. Think of it...always."
~Mahatma Gandhi

 

 

 

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so
regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
~Alexander Graham Bell

 

 

 

 

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
~Albert Einstein

 

 

 

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized
anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't."
~Eleanor Roosevelt

 

 

 

 

Rachel Carson
If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Graham Green
There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

 

 

 

 

Robert Frost
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

 

 

 

 

 

Ogden Nash
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.

 

 

 

 

George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.

 

 

 

 

Benjamin Franklin
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.

 

 

 

 



Reinhold Niebuhr
Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.

 

 

 

 



John Bowring
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

 

 

 

 

 



Ed Howe
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.

 

 

 

 

Elizabeth Stone
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body.

 

 

 

 



Gail Lumet Buckley
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future.

 

 

 

 



Carl Sandburg
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.

 

 

 

 

 

Winston Churchill
If you're going through hell, keep going.

 

 

 

 



Confucius
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
 

 

 

 

 

Doc Childre, A Parenting Manual: Heart Hope for the Family
Many children are intuitively sensitive to people close to them. A child who is in her heart can know when a parent or buddy needs a kind word, a hug, or some friendly conversation.

 

 

 

 

 

James Baldwin
A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled.

 

 

 

 



Alec Bourne
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.

 

 

 

 

Betty Friedan
Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.

 

 

 

 

Elbert Hubbard
God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas, but for scars

 

 

 

 

E. F. Schumacher
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.

Mark Twain


 

 

 

 

 

Be aware of self-esteem programs, they can be seductive but offer short- term rewards. Self-esteem is caught not taught. A person must be around people who value them. In working with the child, the educator may have to pulverize concepts that the family has built over several years.

Dr. Michael Carrera, Children's Aid Society
 

 

 

 

 

 

We are willing to spend the least amount of money to keep a kid at home, more to put him in a foster home and the most to institutionalize him.

Marian Wright Edelman

 

 

 

 





If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much with time them, and half as much money.

Abigail Van Buren
 

 


 

 

Mary Frances Berry
If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in the bus in Montgomery, she'd still be standing.



 

Train the parent and spare the child.

Duane Alan Hahn

 

 

 

 

 



What is done to children, they will do to society.

Karl A. Menninger
 

 

 

 

 

 

Modern cynics and skeptics … see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.

John F Kennedy
 

 

 

 

 

 

If we force children to submit and attempt to control them we must accept that as they grow older and stronger we will face the violence we nurtured in them knowing indeed, we have taught them well.

Barbara Coloroso
 

 

 

 

 

 

Where parents do too much for their children, the children will not do too much for themselves.

Elbert Hubbard
