Famous quotes containing the word children:

    What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    Given the choice, children who don’t want for anything will not save....We have an obligation as parents to give our children what they need. What they want we can give them as a special gift, or they can save their money for it.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    It is our continuing love for our children that makes us want them to become all they can be, and their continuing love for us that helps them accept healthy discipline—from us and eventually from themselves.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)
