Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Trying to love your children equally is a losing battle. Your childrens scorecards will never match your own. No matter how meticulously you measure and mete out your love and attention, and material gifts, it will never feel truly equal to your children. . . . Your children will need different things at different times, and true equality wont really serve their different needs very well, anyway.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“It takes a heap o children to make a home thats true,
And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;
But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,
Why, thats the sort of good old home for good old me and you.”
—Louis Untermeyer (18851977)
“Your children dont have equal talents now and they wont have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts wont succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your childrens happiness by striving to love them equally.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
