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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly.
My children are the most important thing in my life.
Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.
Children are the world's future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.
I have nine children... and one of them is an invalid. Her mother is obliged to take her away in the winter, and when one bird is off the nest, the other has to go on.
Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?
The most important thing with children is to give them your time. Actually, that's all that matters.
Given the choice, children who don't want for anything will not save... We have an obligation as parents to give our children what they need. What they want we can give them as a special gift, or they can save their money for it.
