Virginia Postrel Zitate

Society needs both parents and nonparents, both the work party and the home party. While raising children is the most important work most people will do, not everyone is cut out for parenthood. And, as many a childless teacher has proved, raising kids is not the only important contribution a person can make to their future.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Gesellschaft braucht sowohl Eltern als auch Nichteltern, sowohl die Arbeits- als auch die Heimparty. Die Kindererziehung ist zwar die wichtigste Arbeit, die die meisten Menschen erledigen, aber nicht jeder ist auf Elternschaft eingestellt. Und wie viele kinderlose Lehrer gezeigt haben, ist die Erziehung von Kindern nicht der einzige wichtige Beitrag, den eine Person für ihre Zukunft leisten kann.

The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, 'Come on everybody, we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it.

The thing that really gets to me is that countries are in the news only when things get out of hand. That's when it's newsworthy. When the war ends, it's not newsworthy anymore; no one wants to think about it. Actually, the aftermath is the most important part. It's when people have to rebuild.

Ishmael Beah

The most important thing to realise is that everyone is capable of telling a story. It doesn't matter where we were born or how we grew up.

When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here's the most important person in my life, and I never met him.

Wayne Dyer

My parents both had Oxford degrees, they read important books, spoke foreign languages, drank real coffee and went to museums for pleasure. People like that don't have fat kids: they were cut out to be winners and winners don't have children who are overweight.

Arabella Weir

While few human challenges are greater than that of being good parents, few opportunities offer greater potential for joy. Surely, no more important work is to be done in this world than preparing our children to be God-fearing, happy, honorable, and productive.

James E. Faust

Be these people either Conservatives or Socialists, Yellows or Reds, the most important thing is - and that is the point I want to stress - that all of them are right in the plain and moral sense of the word.
