Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to
decide forever to have your heart go walking around
outside your body.

The quickest way for a parent to get a child's attention
is to sit down and look comfortable.

Children are a great comfort in your old age ...
and they help you reach it faster, too.

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

There must always be a struggle between a father and
son when one aims at power and the other at independence.

You know children are growing up when they start
asking questions that have answers.

Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on
their environment and especially on their children,
than the unlived lives of the parents.

Children seldom misquote you. They usually repeat
word-for-word what you should not have said.
