“To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” 

Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.

To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents

“we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud” 

“we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud” 

I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.

Teenagers these days are out of control. They eat like pigs, they are disrespectful of adults, they interrupt and contradict their parents, and they terrorize their teachers.

Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

It is true that my parents were worried because I began to speak relatively late, so much so that they consulted a doctor. I can’t say how old I was then, certainly not less than three.

I am happy at the thought that the worst worries are over for my parents.

My parents were both storytellers. They always spoke with metaphorical richness.

My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.

My mom and my dad were both very sociable, meeting lots of interesting people.
