Anger is certainly a kind of baseness, as it appears well in the weakness of those subjects in whom it reigns: children, women, old folks, sick folks.

Of all the subjects on this planet, I think my parents would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.

Unfortunately, the highly curious student is a small percentage of the kids.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.

The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office.

There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.

Tell the children the truth.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

My whole family have all been through a difficult time. My focus is my children, our children.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

To rule children by force is the technique of Satan, not of the Savior.

Women – always in trouble with them, but can’t live without them.

I still learn, but I think it’s the best thing in life to have a kid.

Actually, I didn’t start sweating until I had children.

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.

My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I’ve had. And now that I’m in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won’t be half as much anger as there was.

Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing.

Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.

Anger cannot be dishonest.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.

I had this child, and it destroyed my family.

All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.

It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

I worry about all who are impure in their thoughts, feelings, or actions or who demean their wives or children, thereby cutting off priesthood power.

Isn’t it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

Brad and I have never wanted our kids to be actors, but we also want them to be around film and be a part of Mommy and Daddy’s life and for it not to be kept from them, either. We just want them to have a good, healthy relationship with it.

To those whose talents are above mediocrity, the highest subjects may be announced. To those who are below mediocrity, the highest subjects may not be announced.

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.

My three children have brought me great joy.

Naturally, my stories are about women – I’m a woman. I don’t know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. I’m not always sure what is meant by ‚feminist.‘ In the beginning, I used to say, ‚Well, of course I’m a feminist.‘ But if it means that I follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then I’m not.

We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.

I didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry… but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

Until we’re educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

Anger is wonderful. It keeps you going. I’m angry about bankers. About the government.

Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.

The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.

Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what’s sexy or cool or tough.

Women deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don’t mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That’s not power. That’s just corruption.

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I’m still waiting, it’s all been to seduce women basically.

I wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.

My husband’s a pediatrician, so he and I talk about parenting all the time. You can’t raise children who have more shame resilience than you do.

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

When women kiss it always reminds one of prize fighters shaking hands.

I’m just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

Of all nature’s gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
