Quotable Quotes

I love quotes. Here are some good ones:

"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing."
-Phyllis Diller

"Parents have become so covinced that educators know what is best for children that they forget that they themselves really are the experts."
-Marian Edelman

"What the vast majority of American children need is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings."
-Ann Landers

"Well done is better than well said."
-Benjamin Franklin

"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."
-Richard Henry Dana

"We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift- our personal association, which means so much to them- we give grudgingly."
-Mark Twain

"The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists."
-William Jennnings Bryan
