Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.

The best way to make children good is to make them happy

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.

The only people to whose opinions I listen now with any respect are people much younger than myself. They seem in front of me. Life has revealed to them her latest wonder.
