James "We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching." - Roy L. Smith "Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk." - Carl Jung "Every cliche about kids is true; they grow up so quickly, you blink and they're gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that's a joy." - Liam Neeson "I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up." - Tina Turner Your heart beats around 100000 times a day, 36500000 times a year and over a billion times if you live beyond 30. "A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason." - J.P. Morgan "The number one gift I can give my kids, or the number one gift that I can give anybody, is that you're self- sufficient. It's not a matter of even living standards...it's the notion of 'if you're self-sufficient, you have the freedom to make your own choices'. And you can make whatever choices in life you want to make...and on a net ethical standard, it means that what I'm giving is equivalent to what I'm taking." - Ray Dalio "How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted." - Voltaire "Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going." - Phyllis Diller "Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process." - John F. Kennedy "Family life was wonderful. The streets were bleak. The playgrounds were bleak. But home was always warm. My mother and father had a great relationship. I always felt 'safe' there." - Robert Cormier, American author, columnist and reporter According to the Columbia News Service, which is the operated by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City, the Bible is indeed the most shoplifted book in the US.
