Pastoral Resources

I was deeply concerned then, and have become more concerned since, that unless we can deal with the questions of development and the questions of poverty, there's no way that we're going to have a peaceful world for our children.

Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.

I didn't like children. I didn't think of myself as a child. I didn't like any of the things other children were interested in.

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.

My daughter, the one who lives nearby, is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday; I'm learning so much from her.

If kind parents love their children and delight in their happiness, then he who is perfect goodness in sending abroad mortal contagions doth assuredly direct their use.

You help families focus on the future through their children.

Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He's always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.

My children didn't when they were little because I thought that they had to be of a certain age. I hoped they liked me well enough not to want to see me in that sort of a spot.

I wrote a few children's books... not on purpose.

The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children.

Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.

A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.

Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.

Our priorities require that all children of Palestine, men and women, be ready for conflict, both from the standpoint of training and from the standpoint of armament.

I have four grown children and two tiny grandchildren.

Now I'm starting, relatively, to think straight again. I live one day at a time, one hour at a time. What makes it all worthwhile is my children.

The trouble with us is that the ghetto of the Middle Ages and the children of the twentieth century have to live under one roof.

My hope for my children must be that they respond to the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.
