Notable Quotes Worth Remembering



Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.
YODA, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones



The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It ... is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be.
MARIANNE E. NEIFERT, Dr. Mom's Parenting Guide



Children need models more than they need critics.
JOSEPH JOUBERT, Pensées



Children are the brightest treasures we bring forth into this world, but too large a percentage of the population continues to treat them as inconveniences and nuisances, when they're not treating them as possessions or toys.
CHARLES DE LINT, The Onion Girl


There is more in the education of children than the everlasting iteration of the word "don't!"
AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought


Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
BILL COSBY, Fatherhood


Nothing you do for a child is ever wasted.
GARRISON KEILLOR, Leaving Home


If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
DR. JOYCE BROTHERS, Good Housekeeping, Aug. 2010
