Parent Quotations
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
Thomas Jefferson
Idleness is the parent of psychology.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.
Herbert Spencer
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.
Virginia Satir
What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.
Virginia Satir
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Brian Tracy
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
Aeschylus
Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week.
Temple Grandin
Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
Tiger Woods
