"I think part of being a parent is trying to kill your kids."

"You always draw inspiration from your family or your parents if they've proven to be inspirational. My mother is someone who's always been inspirational to me."

"You will never find the real truth among people that are insecure or have egos to protect. Truth over time becomes either guarded or twisted as their perspective changes; it changes with the seasons of their shame, love, hope or pride."

"Os homens têm experiência de séculos a mais que as mulheres em: malsentir, antever e precaver. Quando levadas ao mundo do trabalho "masculino", as mulheres aceleram seu desenvolvimento nessa mesma direção e, dessa forma, as crianças estão deixando de aprender a amar, ou, ao menos, se afeiçoar."

"Both of my parents have great senses of humor."

"I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much."

"A criança ao nascer já traz um determinado potencial; são os pais, no entanto, que podem torná-la capaz de realizar esse potencial"

"Pais que não conhecem a si mesmo não são capazes de evitar a reprodução, em seus filhos, de suas disfunções"

"Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up."

"Nós, pais erramos muito e frequentemente porque os manuais são genéricos e nosso produto específico."

"When you loved someone and had to let them go, there will always be that small part of yourself that whispers, "What was it that you wanted and why didn't you fight for it?"

"My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success."

"A dream is a seed.Vision plants it.Imagination nurtures growth.Opportunities create blooms.Thoughts become things!"

"When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them."

"Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby- awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess."

"Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way."

"I guess, for me, I've always thought that there was humor everywhere. And as a kid, I just, you know, I grew up an only child, and I - sort of nothing made me happier than to make my parents laugh. I remember I had costumes and things laying around the house that I was, you know, anything that I could do to make my parents laugh."

"You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor."

"Happy Days was about a family... although the show was shot in the 70s, it was about a family in the 50s. I realized that kids were watching their parents grow up and the parents were watching themselves grow up. That was the key to the success of our show."

"Have you ever noticed how parents can go from the most wonderful people in the world to totally embarrassing in three seconds?"
