Πολλά παιδιά - πολλές φροντίδες. Κανένα παιδί - καμία ευτυχία.

Αν δεν τιμάς τους γονείς σου, ποιος πρόκειται να τιμήσει εσένα;

Αν θέλεις να είσαι άγιος, δίδαξε καλά τα τέκνα σου. Διότι, σε διαφορετική περίπτωση, οι κακές πράξεις που αυτά θα κάμουν, σε σένα πρόκειται ν' αποδοθούν μετά.

Για τη μητέρα, το παιδί είναι το παν, ενώ, γι' αυτό, η μητέρα είναι ένας κρίκος μόνο στην όλη αλυσίδα της ζωής του.

Γιατί αγαπάμε τόσο πολύ τα παιδιά μας και τόσο λίγο τα παιδιά των άλλων; Γιατί είναι δικά μας και μέσω αυτών αγαπάμε τον εαυτό μας.

Δεν είναι περίεργο ότι από καλούς γονείς βγαίνουν καλά παιδιά κι από ανάξιους γονείς καλά παιδιά.

Είναι όμορφο να κληρονομείς τη δόξα και την υπόληψη του πατέρα.

Είναι σοφός ο πατέρας που γνωρίζει το ίδιο του το παιδί.

Η σοφία του πατέρα είναι η καλύτερη συμβουλή για τα παιδιά του.

Μεταχειρίσου τους γονείς σου με τον τρόπο που επιθυμείς να σου συμπεριφέρονται τα παιδιά σου.

Μια γυναίκα προτιμάει πάντοτε το παιδί της από τον άνδρα της.

Να είσαι πάντα πρώτος και καλύτερος από όλους και ποτέ να μη ντροπιάζεις τους προγόνους σου.

Ό,τι προσφέρεις στους γονείς σου θα λάβεις από τα παιδιά σου.

Οι τιμές και η δόξα των γονέων αποτελούν ανεκτίμητο θησαυρό για τα παιδιά.

Όποιου δεν του χαμογέλασαν οι γονείς του, δεν του αξίζει να δειπνήσει με τους θεούς, ούτε να πλαγιάσει με τις θεές.

Όσο ζουν οι γονείς σου μην ταξιδεύεις μακριά. Αν όμως χρειαστεί να ταξιδέψεις, να ξέρουν τον προορισμό σου.

Τα παιδιά σου θα σου κάνουν ό,τι έκανες στους γονείς σου.

Τα παιδιά στην αρχή αγαπούν τους γονείς τους – όταν μεγαλώνουν τους κρίνουν – κάποιες φορές τους συγχωρούν.

Την ηλικία του πατέρα και της μητέρας σου δεν γίνεται να μην την έχεις στο μυαλό σου: αφ' ενός με χαρά, αφ' ετέρου με φόβο.

Υπάρχει καλύτερο κόσμημα για το παιδί από τη δόξα του πατέρα του και για τον πατέρα από τη δόξα του γιου του;

I've always loved opera; it never occurred to me that I would write a proper libretto.

I lived at admiralty house from 2002 until 2006 on advice from special branch on security grounds as defence secretary. The alternative of providing comprehensive security at my personal property would have entailed significant extra costs to the taxpayer.

I went to Parsons. American sportswear was my education, and that is what is important to me.

Everything I listen to is influential in some way.

You know, even growing up going to school, I had teachers that were against bilingual teaching. I never understood that. My parents always had me speak Spanish first knowing I was going to speak English in school.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

A meeting is an event where minutes are taken and hours wasted.

I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.

In the animal world, there are all kinds of behaviors that are binary: for example, to flee or to fight. In any evolutionary environment, knowing your opponent's decision would not be advantageous for long because your opponent would evolve the same recognition mechanism to also know you.

There's no 'Chutes and Ladders' in life.

Commitment. This is my favorite word because in some way people who are committed are always much more interesting and much more reliable and much more I would say deep than people who are not.

I was kind of loathe to go on social media. I find the trolling unacceptable, and I never wanted to look like I was someone who would accept that.

The divinity you seek is born with you.

Keeping young people away from Shakespeare is like removing a link to their humanness.

I like getting requests from audience members.

There are no black holes in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity.

If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.

I'm a creative person, and I've got a lot of ideas. People probably thought that my mentality was quick fame because I made 'Rack City' and it blew up fast, but I have over 1,000 songs recorded.

If you create open technology that people can use, adapt and play with, it builds capability and they teach themselves.

Politicians who lack the vision to lead the community on big issues like public transport often hide their inaction by blaming other levels of government when anyone complains.

A mystery is a whodunit. You know what happened, but not how or who's behind it. A thriller, or a suspense, is a howdunit. You know what happened, and you usually know who did it, but you keep reading because you want to know how they pulled it off.

Your mission: Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret or fear.

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are its rewards.

I've looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes.
