Each stage in your life - going to high school, getting married, moving to a different city, having children, traveling to a new country - is a different chapter. Each chapter holds surprises, joys, and hardships. Look at it that way, and look forward to beginning that new chapter. You can never get on with the story if you don't keep reading.

Alice WalkerIt's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play
Nastassja KinskiThe central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together.
Eric HofferThat's what children do - throw food. That's not fighting. We were real men. We'd have chinned them

Bill BrysonParents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children.
Judith MartinA house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them.
