A coisa mais importante que um pai pode fazer por seus filhos é amar a mãe deles. 

Quando você é mãe, você nunca está realmente sozinha em seus pensamentos. Uma mãe sempre tem que pensar duas vezes, uma por ela e outra por seu filho.

Imagine o filho que você quer ter, para imaginar o pai que você deve ser. 

Quando você levantar o braço para bater em seu filho, ainda com o braço no ar, pense se não seria mais educativo se você descesse esse braço de forma a acariciá-lo, em vez de machucá-lo.

Nada melhor pode dar um pai a seu filho do que uma boa educação. 

Tudo que faço é estar do seu lado e só assim me sinto feliz. Eu adoro você, meu filho! 

Para a mulher, o homem é um meio: o objetivo é sempre o filho.

A verdade é que a gente não faz filhos. Só faz o layout. Eles mesmos fazem a arte-final.

Meu filho amado, viva sua vida com a certeza que estarei sempre ao seu lado. 

Às vezes o homem mais pobre deixa a seus filhos a herança mais rica.

Se lhe falta aptidão para criar os seus filhos, acho que nenhuma outra coisa que faça bem-feita tem importância.

Quando você levantar o braço para bater em seu filho, ainda com o braço no ar, pense se não seria mais educativo se você descesse esse braço de forma a acariciá-lo, em vez de machucá-lo.

No início, os filhos amam os pais. Depois de um certo tempo, passam a julgá-los. Raramente ou quase nunca os perdoam.

Ter um filho é mágico, mas ter um como você é mais especial que qualquer dádiva!

A gratidão é uma dívida que os filhos nem sempre aceitam no inventário.

Maior que a dor do parto é a dor da criança abandonada. Assumir a paternidade e criar os filhos com dignidade, dando bons exemplos. Esse é o caminho da cidadania.

O embaraço parece ser a única possibilidade de compreensão entre pais e filhos.

É a nossos filhos que pagamos a nossa dívida para com os nossos pais.

Vossos filhos não são vossos filhos. São os filhos e as filhas da ânsia da vida por sí mesma 

Uma mãe nunca deixa seu filho em casa, mesmo quando ela não o carrega consigo.

It must be odd, being recognisable. I would hate to lose that anonymity. It happened for a while with 'Spooks.' No one notices me now.

Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing.

My health is good and it's up to me to keep it that way.

Even in Los Angeles, where we lived, when we would date somebody or go out with them, if we went out with somebody else the next night, we often found that women were banging on our windows while we were bedded down with other women!

Like gods, we have created a new universe called cyberspace that contains great good and ominous evil. We do not know yet if this new dimension will produce more monsters than marvels, but it is too late to go back.

When I wrote 'The Interestings,' I wanted to let time unspool, to give the book the feeling of time passing. I had to allow myself the freedom to move back and forth in time freely, and to trust that readers would accept this.

I never said I wanted to be a lead actress; I never said I wanted to be a film actress. This need to trump everyone bewilders me. I'm only 25. I'm not better than anyone. I just want to watch other people and learn to be good.

I do not like carving the world into segments; we are one world.

'Moonwalking with Einstein' refers to a memory device I used when I memorized a deck of playing cards at the U.S. Memory Championship. When I competed in 2006, I set a new U.S. record by memorizing a deck of cards in one minute and 40 seconds. That record has since fallen.

Teach the children so that it willnot be necessary to teach the adults.

When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrows, that's weird.

Character development is what I value most as a reader of fiction. If an author can manage to create the sort of characters who feel fully real, who I find myself worrying about while I'm walking through the grocery store aisles a week later, that to me is as close to perfection as it gets.

Genocide is not just a murderous madness; it is, more deeply, a politics that promises a utopia beyond politics - one people, one land, one truth, the end of difference. Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis.

To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.

A solid family, as they say. They join me on location if they have a chance, but I can also be home three or four months doing nothing, so I probably see my kids more than people who work constantly all year long. If that changes, we'll have to have a family meeting.

Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

There is never a time when new distraction will not show up we sow them so several will grow from the same seed.

News is only the first rough draft of history.

There is no reason that the universe should be designed for our convenience.

I've built employee perks programs before and it's impossible to manually build a program that makes everyone happy. I'd make a deal with one gym then hear about another gym an employee would prefer. As a small business owner, I didn't have the time or leverage to negotiate and manage dozens of vendor relationships.

If you don't have liberty and self-determination, you've got nothing, that's what this is what this country is built on. And this is the ultimate self-determination, when you determine how and when you're going to die when you're suffering.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.

Literature is my calling To hold up the mirror to my countrymen comes natural to me; and in the open field of invention I am not without hopes of giving them pleasure.

Once you start writing something obsessively, it's almost like someone has to rip it from your hands in order for you to put it down.
