Parents should plant deeply the seed of the work ethic into the hearts and habits of their children.

Most parents' goal is to launch their children into the world with all the tools they need to make it on their own.

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

I've often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because, you're not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest. You're... sometimes... they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.

Our parents have, by far, the greatest influence on shaping who we are and how we deal with the world.

I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter.

We all want to raise our children well.

I guess when we're young, we all have that fascination with flying.

When it comes down to it, I believe that, having made the decision to bring children into the world, I owe it to them to be as present as I can in their daily lives and to try my best to stay alive until they've made it through to adulthood.

When I was a child, I didn't fly - we couldn't afford to fly. Flying was for rich people.
