Famous quotes containing the word children:
“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we dont really like them, or at least we cant stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if its dirty little secret. It doesnt fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Live free, child of the mist,and with respect to knowledge we are all children of the mist.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“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)
