"There are two things children should get..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The highest cannot be spoken; it can only be acted.”

“When married one has to get into an argument once in a while since in this way one learns about the other.”

“If thou wouldst hear what seemly is and fit, inquire of noble woman; they can tell, who in life's common usage hold their place by graceful deed and aptly chosen word.”

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.”

“It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have...One pair that see through closed doors. Another in the back of her head...and, of course, the ones in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and reflect 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word.”

“Family life got better and we got our car back - as soon as we put 'I love Mom' on the license plate.”

“Everyone has these two visions when they hold their child for the first time. The first is your child as an adult saying "I want to thank the Nobel Committee for this award." The other is "You want fries with that?".”

“Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics towards which we can be indifferent.”

“Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.”
