Cristiano RonaldoSelf-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.
Billy GrahamThe moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.

Kobe BryantI know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you.
Alice WalkerBut now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I’m upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.
LeBron JamesMy biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
Joel OsteenIt is a wise father that knows his own child.
William ShakespeareNo parent is perfect; we all can look back and think of things we could’ve done to help our children be better prepared for adulthood. And sometimes it’s best to admit it to them and encourage them to learn from our mistakes.
Billy GrahamYou must keep raising this game to higher and higher levels, as on the pool table – mastering eventually the psychological angles. Your playing is a pleasure, all the way to the end, to death, when the game is over.
Robert GreeneMy next baby will be my new record.
Lady GagaI would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I’ve done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I’ve ever had come true – I am so proud of that I can’t even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.
Dolly PartonUltimately this issue is on us. We’re the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

Jurgen KloppThe loss of a child is my greatest nightmare.
Angelina JolieWhen you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

Erma BombeckIn reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride.
Benjamin FranklinWhen I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.
Jackie RobinsonI take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They’ve got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I’ve got to be conscious of that.
Mr. TYou definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don’t want my kids to just focus on being black. They are people. I don’t want them to judge other people or to be judged. I want them to be good people, so good people will treat them accordingly. I preach that to my kids and everything else falls into place.
Kevin HartThe English are predisposed to pride, the French to vanity.
Jean-Jacques RousseauI would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.
Anthony BourdainPride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
John C. MaxwellSometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.
Michelle ObamaThere is a danger that threatens everyone in the church, all of us. The danger of worldliness. It leads us to vanity, arrogance and pride.
Pope FrancisMen are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf you are a parent, you have probably already realized that your children are always watching what you do. And just as children watch their parents and emulate their behavior, so do employees who are watching their bosses.
John C. MaxwellI wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.
Billy GrahamA great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
Ludwig van BeethovenSometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.
Joel OsteenWhen I was a kid, I had a tendency to criticize. But when I did, my mum would whisk me off to the bathroom to stand in front of a mirror. Ten minutes, never less. To think about how criticism is a poor reflection on the one who criticizes.
Richard BransonI’ve always felt heroic about my life… As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn’t think that was the case at all. My parents didn’t treat me as a girl.
Vivienne WestwoodTo lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

Margaret AtwoodMy mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
Mark TwainClearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don’t cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That’s going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.
Michelle ObamaOnce you have six children, you’re committed.
Angelina JolieNothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.
John RuskinThe reason why I am proud of my part in the punk movement is that I think it really did implant a message that was already there. The hippies told it to me, but punk made it something cool for people to stand up for, which is that we do not believe government, that we are against government.
Vivienne WestwoodMy goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.
Kanye WestSend forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.
Charles DickensMy kids are coming up in a different time then me. Interracial couples are of the norm. With me, it’s about making sure my kids understand the importance of education and having opportunities that I didn’t. My goal as a parent is to make sure they don’t take what they have for granted.
Kevin HartWho will take responsibility for raising the next generation?
Ruth Bader GinsburgFathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
Oscar WildeEndorsements are a reward for good performance on the field, and the commitments made after signing them need to be done.
Virat KohliI’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.
Abby Lee MillerHow sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!
William ShakespeareEven if we give parents all the information they need and we improve school meals and build brand new supermarkets on every corner, none of that matters if when families step into a restaurant, they can’t make a healthy choice.
Michelle ObamaA passionate belief in your business and personal objectives can make all the difference between success and failure. If you aren’t proud of what you’re doing, why should anybody else be?
Richard BransonI have spent so much time and so much energy making other people’s children stars.
Abby Lee MillerI have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me.
