I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them.
And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children, and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations, we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit.
The summer after I got divorced, my children asked to sleep in my bed again. It would be the first time we'd shared a bed since they were infants.
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
One out of six women are toxic with mercury. Mercury comes out of coal plants and chlorine plants. I am toxic, I deal with symptoms, children are born with, you know, autism - there is an epidemic in this country. This is like, the air that we breath.
Our nation's children are our greatest asset and our most precious treasure.
Dick Dart emerged from the ether during a flight from New York with my wife and children to Puerto Rico.
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
Children reinvent your world for you.
My parents are aging and there are difficult issues. It's strange to have children at the beginning of life and parents nearing the end.
Hamas, they are using civilians' lives, they are using children, they are using the suffering of people every day to achieve their goals. And this is what I hate.
As Asian-Americans, the charge that is often lobbed against us is sort of the least original: the idea that somehow we're perpetual foreigners, that we can't be trusted, and that even my father, who was patriotic to the point that it was kind of a joke among his children, would be accused of being disloyal to America.
Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job. But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
I hope to be scaring children for the rest of my life.
Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.
We've fallen down on our responsibility to our children by somehow creating this world where they're surrounded by images of sexuality; and yet, we as adults struggle to talk to kids honestly about sex, the rules of dignity and consent.
Florida has its own rhythm, too. People go to work, they watch their children learn and grow and start families of their own. They play in the sun and pass their lives enjoying the outsized blessings that make our state unique.
I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
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.
Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.
Children do best when their parents live together in stable relationships, when two incomes can be a catalyst for opportunity.
I really try to focus on organizations, twofold, one that help people and/or beings that don't have other means of help.

Children need continuity as they grow and learn.
Chris Columbus was really interesting to watch how he works with children.
For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.
The trouble with children is that they're not returnable.
Every public school in the country should have a nutrition-education curriculum. We're creating a pilot program at my son's school. We are looking to create a replicable model that can help bring good nutrition to all children.
It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
Women tend to need the healthcare system more because we bear children. Insurance companies - not all of them, but many of them - 'gender-rate.' Women may pay 40% more for their health insurance than men do.
Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!
My children have no prejudices at all. My own brother-in-law is Jewish!
I shall lend credit to nothing against my people which parents would not believe against their own children.
When the children were little, I'd fly into L.A. for a specific work project, but then I'd leave again, and when I was home, I wouldn't even read a script.
My family is Anglo-Indian, and of the four children, I'm the only one who wasn't born in India.
I met my wife; she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night, and we fell in love, and that was it.
The health care industry can play a great role in this by being aware of the fact that these children form perhaps the most neglected group of people in the country, largely because it is hard to find them.
