Parents Quotes
-
You always want to break away from your parents, and you always think, 'I'm never going to be like that guy.' What I've discovered is you kind of wind up becoming your parents, which is also a cliche in itself. My father, despite the fact that he's been dead for over 25 years, he's been a huge influence on me.

"If I am next to a door, I could open it for a girl, but I would actually rather open it for a child or a senior citizen. I don't like going out for dinner as I don't like those cameras on my face and don't like people taking pictures while I am eating. I don't like candle light dinners as I can't see the food. Every time a candle light dinner happens, there is a problem as there will be some conversation on marriage or some other conversation and I know that the candle light dinner will end in a fight. I have
been for candle light dinners only twice and both times, the same thing happened. Also, I can't go out and hold the hand of my girlfriend in public, as I feel that holding hands in public is a public exhibition and showing off of your relationship to others and I don't need to do that. I have never seen my father
hold my mother's hand. In fact just recently he started holding her hand, as she needs a little bit of support to walk. I feel that what you can't do in front of your parents you should not be doing outside."
Salman Khan

It's important for parents to watch for trouble and convey to their daughters that, if it comes, they are strong enough to deal with it. Parents who send their [adolescent] daughters the message that they'll be overwhelmed by problems aren't likely to hear what's really happening.
Mary Pipher

Ensuring that we help prepare all kids for life, college, and work in our knowledge-based economy will require a collaborative, sustained effort from all stakeholders - from the president and the secretary of education on down to states, school districts, principals, teachers, parents, and community members.
