Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Unconditional love is loving your kids for who they are, not for what they do.... I don’t mean that we like or accept inappropriate behavior, but with unconditional love we love the children even at those times when we dislike their behavior. Unconditional love isn’t something you will achieve every minute of every day. But it is the thought we must hold in our hearts every day.”
—Stephanie Martson (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)
“And those handmade presents that children often bring home from school: They have so much value! The value is that the child put whatever he or she could into making them. The way we parents respond to the giving of such gifts is very important. To the child the gift is really self, and they want so much for their selves to be acceptable, to be loved.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
