Right now I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time… I think I’ve forgotten this before.
Steven WrightNeil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That’s what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He’s a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.
Dave GrohlContrary to reports, this boy is not a billionaire or going to be richer than any Beatle… and not just in the sense of money, by the way; the Beatles are untouchable – those billionaire reports are a joke.
BonoThe reason children accept discipline from their parents is because they know their parents love them.
Nipsey HussleThere’s nothing better than having a baby. I’ve always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I’d be overwhelmed, and it’s true… I can’t tell you how much my attitude has changed since we’ve got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.
Kurt CobainWe’re all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it’s hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids‘ plates.
Michelle ObamaI would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
Warren BuffettI’ve never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn’t mean for me to have kids so that everybody else’s children could be mine.
Dolly PartonMy folks ain’t graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family – and I come from a big family.
Kendrick LamarI’m happiest with my family around me.
Amy WinehouseI love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad.
Lady GagaMy family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.
Jim CarreyThe best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
Harry S. TrumanMy grandfather once ventured upon publishing a volume of hymns. I never heard anyone speak in their favour or argue that they ought to have been sung in the congregation. In that volume, he promised a second if the first should prove acceptable. We forgive him the first collection because he did not inflict another.
Charles SpurgeonAll parents are concerned about their children’s well-being. As a parent of three kids, I’m very concerned about their well-being.
Tom BradyMy sisters are stronger and my brother’s bigger than me.
Adam SandlerMarriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God’s great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!
Russell M. NelsonI have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
Harry S. TrumanMy father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn’t possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
Bob DylanMy momma didn’t clean up floors so I could be a thug… so I could wear my pants down.
Mr. TThe side of fairytales I don’t like is that they always have happy endings, that there’s just good and evil, and things are perfect. But life is a little more complicated, and that’s what I try to teach my kids.
Angelina JolieYou must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul SartreCreative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.
Jim CarreyAll the learnin‘ my father paid for was a bit o‘ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.
George EliotI was fortunate and I was lucky that I had a couple of people in my life who cared about me. I had good, loving parents.
Dwayne JohnsonMy mother loved children – she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho MarxIt goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Erma BombeckMy mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn’t have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.
Dave GrohlMaria is the best reason to come home.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.
Virat KohliDo you know what you call those who use towels and never wash them, eat meals and never do the dishes, sit in rooms they never clean, and are entertained till they drop? If you have just answered, ‚A house guest,‘ you’re wrong because I have just described my kids.
Erma BombeckI had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.
Audrey HepburnI’ve said this time and again: My greatest concern coming into the White House was making sure my girls came out whole and normal, and decent and kind, just like I would expect them to if we were living on the South Side of Chicago. And it takes work to keep White House life normal for the kids.
Michelle ObamaI believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
Joyce MeyerI’ve had a lot of ridiculous haircuts.
Tom BradyI told Warren if he mentions Prop. 13 one more time, he has to do 500 push-ups.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerMother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
William Makepeace ThackerayThe influence of a mother upon the lives of her children cannot be measured. They know and absorb her example and attitudes when it comes to questions of honesty, temperance, kindness, and industry.
Billy GrahamNow that I’m a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.
Adam SandlerThose who know me know I’m passionate about lists, and top of my list of priorities is my family. My wife Joan and I do not consider our legacy to our children to be wealth or fame but the opportunity to pursue happiness by following their own path.
Richard BransonI think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.
Anthony BourdainI don’t pick up toys. I crush them.
Jocko WillinkMy whole family are hams. They’re storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one.
Matthew McConaugheyBrad 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.
Angelina JolieThe joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Francis BaconIt is a wise father that knows his own child.
William ShakespeareThere is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret ThatcherMy whole family have all been through a difficult time. My focus is my children, our children.
Angelina JolieWhen I listen to a song, I don’t say, ‚Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.‘ I’m thinking, ‚That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.‘
Taylor SwiftParentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
George Bernard ShawWhen the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one – it’s the first blow in a suicidal movement. I see the neglect in cities around the country, in poor white children in West Virginia and Virginia and Kentucky – in the big cities, too, for that matter.
Maya AngelouNever have more children than you have car windows.
Erma BombeckThe 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.
EminemPlumbers can be masters, the guy who did my patio is a master, some people are masters at raising really great children.
Robert GreeneI remember the first time I had sex – I kept the receipt.
Groucho MarxI am proud to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of adventure and daily discoveries – the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the comfort of the family fireside, of good food and tender care.
Herbert HooverYes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.
Alice WalkerRecommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
Ludwig van BeethovenLike all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
Queen Elizabeth IINo matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
Dolly Parton
