Quote by -Erma Bombeck

Quote by -Erma Bombeck

Quote by -Lenny Bruce
Part of our tradition as black women is that we are universalists. Black children, yellow children, red children, brown children, that is the black woman's normal, day-to-day relationship. In my family alone, we are about four different colors.
Quote by -Alice Walker
I've always felt quite singular, even as a child. That I must stay on track to keep my purpose.
Quote by -Alice Walker
I know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you.
Quote by -Alice Walker
On education: The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society; it is that education which in the main is founded upon the desire for successful activity and acknowledgment.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
I, an old man, greet you Japanese schoolchildren from afar and hope that your generation may some day put mine to shame.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
Best not to look back. Best to believe there will be happily ever afters all the way around - and so there may be; who is to say there will not be such endings? Not all boats which sail away into darkness never find the sun again, or the hand of another child; if life teaches anything at all, it teaches that there are so many happy endings that the man who believes there is no God needs his rationality called into serious question..
Quote by -Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Quote by -Stephen King
I remember thinking quite logically that I didn't want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Quote by -Bill Gates
According to Ethiopian custom, parents wait to name a baby because children often die in the first weeks of life.
Quote by -Bill Gates
Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children dont usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.
Quote by -Dalai Lama
"Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."
Quote by -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.
Quote by -Aristotle
There is something strangely inconsistent about a nation and a press that would praise you when you say, ‘Be nonviolent toward Jim Clark,’ but will curse and damn you when you say, ‘Be nonviolent toward little brown Vietnamese children.’ There is something wrong with that press.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.
Quote by -Rumi
To support mother and father, to cherish wife and child and to have a simple livelihood; this is the good luck.
Quote by -Buddha
“I might inform those humanitarians who have a nightmare of new and needless babies (for some humanitarians have that sort of horror of humanity) that if the recent decline in the birth-rate were continued for a certain time, it might end in there being no babies at all; which would console them very much.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Or perhaps it's "activist," but on environmental and economic problems, without understanding that pressuring women to have too many children is the biggest cause of environmental distress, and economic courses should start with reproduction, not just production.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“All men are children, and if you understand that, a woman understands everything.”
Quote by -Coco Chanel
I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“It's not just women in film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone's face, someone's body who has had children and I think, they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that? I look at people sort of entombing themselves and all you see is their little pin holes of terror... and you think, just live your life, death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
People had always vaguely mentioned that when you have children, how part of your life would stop. But they don't say that some other extraordinary part of your life opens up.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“More than a third of all the men, women, and children on this march perished from cold, starvation, and disease. Thanks to President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act, Cherokee land was left to white farmers who used it to grow cotton with slave labor and to mine gold.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and I'll be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and you'll have to say, "Stop here until your mom comes here." Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Lift up your eyes upon This day breaking for you. Give birth again To the dream. Women, children, men, Take it into the palms of your hands. Mold it into the shape of your most Private need. Sculpt it into The image of your most public self. Lift up your hearts Each new hour holds new chances For a new beginning.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier
Quote by -Mother Teresa
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world
Quote by -Mother Teresa
