quotes

"You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance."

Franklin P. Adams

"Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded."
-- Jesse Lair


"Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain." -- Alan Bleasdale


"The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones-which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones." -- Sydney J. Harris


"Modern cynics and skeptics ... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing." -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

"The only reason I always try to meet and know the parents better is because it helps me to forgive their children."-- Louis Johannot

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap. -- Cynthia Heimel

Wait, I have to include a quote from the great Dave Barry!

"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base." -- Dave Barry
