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

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. 

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 

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

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

Nobody ever wants to really make someone feel bad.

I grew up with KTSU, and that station gave me so much info about the pantheon of black sounds: reggae, gospel, blues, soul, hip hop, and mostly they played jazz. That was a major part of how I understood music.

Everything is an experience. You learn something different from everything you do.

By the time May rolls around, I'm probably going to want to spend a month on an island. But if Steven Spielberg or Steven Soderbergh or any number of directors were to say 'Hey, there's this role, are you interested?' I'd be there in a flash.

A democratic state will protect the freedom to hold any beliefs other than those that harm others such as racism. In particular it will see to it that no one is harmed just because of her beliefs.

I eat right and stay healthy as much as possible.

According to Netanyahu, he should rule like a Caesar, and the Knesset should be run by the tyranny of the majority.

The Millennium Stadium thing was for the Tsunami concert. It was a thing that I think every band in the country would have liked to be a part of at the time that it happened.

I hope the fathers and mothers of little girls will look at them and say 'yes, women can.'

It wasn't always easy at times, having grown up on television and being in the entertainment industry.

There is no way at all that Diana was mentally unstable. There is nothing wrong with expecting your husband to be faithful and being angry when he isn't. Diana had every reason to believe that Charles and Camilla never stopped seeing each other.

The myth of unending consumption has taken the place of the belief in life everlasting.

If you can have a really good coaching staff, and you can have a really good young quarterback and do a really good job in player personnel and string together multiple successful drafts, your window is not small in the NFL because of the quarterback.

I have been further enlightened by the conversation and correspondence of some illustrious Italians, whom I would gladly name, were I not afraid of exposing them to danger.

We do not die because we have to die we die because one day and not so long ago our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.

I get demoralized by organizations that start off with a mission and pull back when they find it's risky.

We all present versions of ourselves. The person you are at work is not the same person you are at home. The face we present in our most intimate relationships is not the face we present to the world.

Most people treat the news media like the exercise bike they have in their basement. They're glad it's there but they never use it.

Chinese emissions are a problem not just for its own people but also for the world. It has now overtaken the U.S. as the biggest carbon emitter; most of the coal that is burned anywhere on Earth is burned in China.

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money. We haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody's afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the truth. It is the truth.

I've come to see that these politicians that release books - no way are they actually writing those books. Not when they are working fulltime, too. There's no way. That's their name on the book, but it's not their work. I'm sure of that. There's no way.

Increasingly, there's much better material on television, but there's not always the time and money to make it, so you've got to make sure you make it in the right place. It also depends on time commitment; a lot of directors will make a pilot, but a series is just a whole other level of involvement.

No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.

When she walks by me, smiles and says ‘hi’, it’s enough to make me feel jittery. She brings out the best in me and makes me feel like I am on cloud nine.
