Quote of the Day -- Hannah Arendt

Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it and by the same token to save it from that ruin, which, except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and the young, would be inevitable. An education, too, is where we decide whether we love our children enough not to expel them from our world and leave them to their own devices, nor to strike from their hands their choice of undertaking something new, something unforeseen by us, but to prepare them in advance for the task of renewing a common world. 

-- Hannah Arendt

Quote of the Day -- Frederick Douglass

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

You can’t run alongside your grown children with sunscreen and ChapStick on their hero’s journey.

Quote of the Day -- George Carlin

Don’t just teach your children to read… Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything.

Quote of the Day -- James Baldwin

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
-- James Baldwin

Quote of the Day -- Maria Shriver

It’s such an honor to bring a child into this world. It’s such a humbling experience to try to get it “right” and do your best. It’s humbling because you never know if what you’re doing is what your child actually wants or needs. That's especially the case when you have more than one child because you quickly learn that each of them is different. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to mothering.

-- Maria Shriver

Quote of the Day -- Mr Rogers

Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.

-- Fred Rogers

Quote of the Day -- Goethe

If I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I will help you become that.

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
