One grows up thinking you will naturally be able to have children, and when it doesn't happen, it's a shock. But I just feel that it wasn't meant to be.

Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

It is only through raising expectations and striving for excellence that our children can reach their full potential.

Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.

Any child can be developed, it depends on how you do it.

Children believe that if they just want something badly enough, it will happen.

There's a lot of pressure on kids, period, just to be successful in life.

Yes, yes, children must early be made to practise piety, godliness, and propriety; a person of good breeding is one into whom 'good maxims' have been instilled and impressed, poured in through a funnel, thrashed in and preached in.

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.
