But it's important, while we are supporting lessons in respecting others, to remember that many of our youngest kids need to learn to respect themselves. You learn your worth from the way you are treated.
Anna Quindlen

The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.
Anna Quindlen

Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them.
Anna Quindlen

If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.
Maynard James Keenan

I've used drugs that I do consider to be dangerous, drugs that are potentially detrimental to kids and society at large.
Tim Robbins

Because my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.
Herschel Walker

All these older kids here, and I'm the only one from a town that's so small, if everyone breathed at the same time, you'd run out of oxygen. Man, there is nothing there.
Herschel Walker

I'm never going to let nobody take those kids. They Michael's kids. They have no right to try to take those kids. It's going to be a big mess over that.
Joseph Jackson

We just kind of did our own thing and got made fun of by the popular kids. It was kind of like a badge of honor to be an outcast.
Mark Hoppus

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
Mark Hoppus

They're really nice kids. Michael is really raising them properly and right.
Joseph Jackson

In Italy, I had an Afro, and a lot of the kids came up and felt my hair. It really was funny. I wish I had understood Italian.
Sugar Ray Leonard

What do you mean you have my children at the police station? Why are my kids at the police station?
O. J. Simpson

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
Zinedine Zidane

I would not trade you a billion dollars for the kids I led to combat in Vietnam or in fact any of the Marines that I served with for a quarter of a century.
Oliver North

Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.
Faith Hill

Before I was a year old I walked and talked and I was even potty trained. When I started going to school I think I got on everyone's nerves because I used to ask adult questions rather than settle for the stuff usually fed to kids.
Sharon Stone

If you want plenty of experience in dealing with difficult people, then have kids.
Bo Bennett

American families be warned, if the White House doesn't send your jobs overseas, they'll send your kids.
Joe Baca

A man's got to work for more than himself and his kids to feel right.
