Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.

Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.

You don’t love someone to shape their future.
You don’t judge your friendships by how successful your friend becomes.
So don’t love and judge your children that way.
Don’t try to change them.
Just give them a great environment where they can thrive.
Give them the safety to experiment, make mistakes, and fail up.

You don’t have to let yourself be terrorized by other people’s expectations of you.

My children have never brought any shame upon their father. They have been independent children, my children.

The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.

People are people. Don't be afraid of them.

My parents were free about nudity, and we are too. I’d like our children to feel unashamed of whatever shape they are. People should worry about other things.

There was no stereotypical roles in my household and I think that allowed both myself and my siblings to be raised in a way like that where there was no judgement. It was just support.

Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.

"Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called "All the Things That Could Go Wrong.

When you have children, you'll never be able to worry about a friend as much again," Dov said.

You shouldn’t be scared of anything either because you’re not alone.”

Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
