To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.

One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.

Nicki Minaj, I’m at MTV. I’m going to be honest with you: I love you. I like you. I want you; I want you to be mine. Only reason I’m not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you’re busy.

I don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.

I hope that people around the world will be as inspired as I am to step up and to speak out on behalf of girls around the world who struggle to go to school.

Men are what their mothers made them.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

If it’s going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.

Education doesn’t change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.

Integrity has no need of rules.

I want parents to teach that academic intelligence is essential, but so is financial intelligence.

Plot exposition that can be gently wound out by the authorial voice and internal monologue of a character in the length of a page has to be delivered in a matter of seconds on the stage.

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way – by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

My kids are the funniest two human beings there are.

I was a sociology major. And it had nothing to do necessarily with law, which is ultimately – I went to law school. But what I tried to do was choose something that I was passionate about or something that I cared about.

Tell the children the truth.

Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.

I teach children to be winners.

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability.

My mother did not like children.

When I was making the early stuff, I never expected it to be so big. I was in my own kind of bubble. I never wanted to tour; I just wanted to create music and make a diary I could put out into the world. And sometimes, I became the characters.

It’s very important for Christians to be honest with God, which often, you know, God is much more interested in who you are than who you want to be.

I never promise anything. I don’t promise anything to my mum. I don’t promise anything to the supporters.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.

College isn’t in everyone’s hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn’t mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

Tyranny or slavery, born of selfishness, are the two educational methods of parents; all gradations of tyranny or slavery.

In the real world, children love me.

I’ve never been a hands-on dad. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but you can’t run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.

I’m a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what’s wrong and fixing it.

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

Only the educated are free.

I’d like to think I’m a great teacher.

I’ve always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family, especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we’re young, we don’t understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it’s a blessing to have that support at home.

If I ever had twins, I’d use one for parts.

I didn’t start sweating until I had children. That was one of the first things I realized when my daughter Violet was born – I started getting wicked BO. You know there’s a difference between basketball BO and stress BO? This was definitely stress BO. Like, new dad BO.

I don’t have any secrets I need kept any more.

A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn’t danced in television.

I promised myself that I would write as well as I can, tell the truth, not to tell everything I know, but to make sure that everything I tell is true, as I understand it. And to use the eloquence which my language affords me.

I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.

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

A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Every time I say something that’s extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the Internet.

The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.

It is very nearly impossible… to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.

The kids are old enough now – I just want to let them be kids. I don’t want to comment on them too much. They’re at an age where I just want to let them be kids.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.

For me, often, there’s such a cloud of melancholia about knowing I’m going to have to leave my daughter on her own. I don’t know what age that is going to be, thank God. It just doubles me up in grief.

The ‚Maddox Jolie-Pitt‘ Foundation’s work is inspired by our children and their connections to particular countries.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.
