There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones.

You can't raise kids alone, you can't heal alone... you really need a community.

We do a disservice to society if we ignore the evidence which shows that stable families tend to be associated with better outcomes for children.

There is no better gift a society can give children than the opportunity to grow up safe and free - the chance to pursue whatever dreams they may have.

You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone.

I've always been concerned with what happens to children in our society when there's nobody left to take care of them.

Every child should at least grow up in family rather than without one.

Raising a family is difficult enough. But it's even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don't need more obstacles. They need more opportunities.

Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
