“Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.”

“For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things.

“Treat your children like the blessings they are or don't have them at all.”

“But a mother is like a broomstick or like the sun in the heavens, it does not matter which as far as one's knowledge of her is concerned: the broomstick is there and the sun is there; and whether the child is beaten by it or warmed and enlightened by it, it accepts it as a fact in nature, and does not conceive it as having had youth, passions, and weaknesses, or as still growing, yearning, suffering, and learning.”

“Our parents set the moral tone of the family. They expected more of some of us and less of others, but never less than they thought we were capable of.”

“It is my deepest conviction that the children should be seen and heard as our most treasured assets.”

“All men know their children mean more than life.”

“My hope would be that, as we're moving through the world right now, we're able to get that psychological or emotional peace by seeing very concretely our kids doing better and being more hopeful and having greater opportunities.”
