There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

Each of us must come to care about everyone else's children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people's children. After all, when one of our children needs lifesaving surgery, someone else's child will perform it. If one of our children is threatened or harmed by violence, someone else's child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life for our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people's children.

Lilian Katz

Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion.

Miguel De Unamuno Novelist

We need to understand that every time an elementary teacher captures the imagination of a child through the arts or music of language this nation gets a little stronger.

Richard Riley Former United States Secretary Of Education

For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish ora German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making "ladies" dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.

Stephanie Coontz Author

There is neither encouragement nor room in Bible religion for feeble desires, listless efforts, lazy attitudes; all must be strenuous, urgent, ardent. Flamed desires, impassioned, unwearied insistence delight heaven. God would have His children incorrigibly in earnest and persistently bold in their efforts. Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers or to respond to pop-calls. Our whole being must be in our praying.

Edward Mckendree Bounds Author

The first bond of society is the marriage tie; the next our children; then the whole family of our house, and all things in common.

Marcus Tullius Cicero Philosopher
