Pastoral Resources

My wife and children seem to like me quite a bit, and as long as that is true, I'm really OK.

I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, and every day I am paid to do what I love.

Well, I've got two small children and this is a very important time for me to be around them.

My children are 10 and three, and the longing and the need for them is incredibly powerful.

I beg my Children to be just and virtuous, never to disgrace my name or theirs, and then they are out of fortune's power.

Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.

Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories.

Before I married, I had three theories about raising children and no children. Now, I have three children and no theories.

It is impossible to treat a child too well. Children are spoiled by being ignored too much or by harshness, not by kindness.

I'm aware of what kids like because I'm constantly in touch with them. Also, they say that a lot of people who write for children can remember their own childhoods vividly and I can remember my childhood very vividly.

There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.

Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven.

Children are so used to seeing puppets that when they see a real ventriloquist they don't understand it.

That problem has been going on since men and women and their children moved from the plains and into caves. How many times have you heard Howard Cunningham talking to Marian about shopping? Too many.

Right now I belong to the wonderful organization called The Children's Action Network. The first thing we did was immunize 200,000 children across the country against childhood diseases.

The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me.

I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.

However the Southern man may have been master of the negro, there were compensatory processes whereby certain negroes were masters of their masters' children.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful, healthy children who keep me completely grounded, sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

I have read only the first 'Harry Potter' book. I thought it excellent, perhaps the best thing written for older children since The Hobbit. I wish the books had been around when my kids were the right age for them.
