Eleanor Roosevelt

T.S. Eliot
"Kids are cute, babies are cute, puppies are cute. The little things are cute. See, nature did this on purpose so that we would want to take care of our young. Made them cute. Tricked us.

Cathy Ladman

Mark Twain

George Dennison Prentice
"The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant -- and let the air out of the tires."
Dorothy Parker
"The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic."
Bill Cosby
"The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother's always a Democrat."
Robert Frost
"The man who disobeys his parents will have disobedient sons."
Nachman of Bratslav
"The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher."
Elbert Hubbard
"There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson."
Victor Hugo
"There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book."
Marcel Proust
