Father

  • If you’ve never been hated by your child, you’ve never been a parent. Bette Davis
  • Babies don’t need fathers, but mothers do. Amy Heckerling

God

  • What really matters is what you do with what you have. Shirley Lord
  • Forget the past and live the present hour. Sarah Knowles

Partner

  • Mirror your partner’s dreams; the relationship will grow.
  • The greatest gift you and your partner can give your children is the example of an intimate, healthy, and loving relationship.
  • A happy marriage is a setting in which each partner, while acknowledging the need of the other, feels free to be what he or she by nature is: a relationship in which instinct as well as intellect can find expression; in which giving and taking are equal; in which each accepts the other.

Children

  • Those who say they “sleep like a baby” haven’t got one.
  • Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction. Annie Sullivan
  • Children seldom misquote you. They more often repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said. Mae Maloo
