Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Answering questions can be a responsibility. Children think that their parents have all the answers. In the words of one child, children are “whyers” and parents “becausers.””
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
“With the breakdown of the traditional institutions which convey values, more of the burdens and responsibility for transmitting values fall upon parental shoulders, and it is getting harder all the time both to embody the virtues we hope to teach our children and to find for ourselves the ideals and values that will give our own lives purpose and direction.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.”
—Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)
