Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.
It's shameful what's happening in this country in terms of what we deny our children.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
I have a very open line of communication with both my children.
We protect aspirin bottles in this country better than we protect guns from accidents by children.
There are certain realities we must speak of with our children that were not present when I was a child.
Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.
Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.

Children are all foreigners.
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.
