Marrying is human. Having children is divine. — Parenting

"The greatest gift you can bestow upon your children is your time and undivided attention."

"The relationship between parents and children can break a thousand times over, and it is the job of a parent to go searching for the pieces, searching for the glue."

"When we talk of parental influence we do not think of terror in connection with it—that is not the primary idea—it is not terror and coercion, but kindness and affection, which may bias the childs mind, and induce the child to do that which may be highly imprudent, and which, if the child were properly protected, he would never do."

"Parenting is the science of art of upbringing children."

"But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one anothers throats."

"Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons."
