I do think that young children can spot a phony a mile away.
I missed a lot of important milestones in my children's lives to pursue this sport.
My wish for the new millennium is for all children... to grow up wiser, and stronger and more prosperous for the future than ever before.
My dad was a mime and then he had his company and created plays for children and was very successful with it.
I definitely have been very mindful of what kind of leader and creator I want to be. A lot of that has to with looking at the writers that you work with. They're all like your children. They all need love, but different versions of it.
The nomads' egalitarian lifestyle astonished the Greeks, who kept their own women indoors weaving and minding children. The exotic Scythian lifestyle fueled the Greek imagination and led to an outpouring of myths about fierce Amazons, 'the equals of men.'

I was a teacher. I also worked at Harlem Children's Zone. I moved back to Baltimore and opened up an after-school, out-of-school program on the west side and then worked in two public school districts, in Baltimore and Minneapolis.
My children were attacked by the Minnesota media when I was governor.
I was a grade B housewife, maybe a B minus. But when I got time to write, I would be unable to finish a sentence. I had anxiety attacks.

I was a housewife and the children's mother, and I was judged on how I performed those roles.
There was no active, conscious decision-making point, just a gradual realization over time that I'm very happy minus children and marriage.
France has been mired in people's minds for years. In reality, our children are taught that they have every reason to criticize her, to see only the darkest historical aspects.
Every child senses, with all the horse sense that's in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be.
If I were to give advice, I would say to parents that they ought to be very careful whom they allow to mix with their children when young; for much mischief thence ensues, and our natural inclinations are unto evil rather than unto good.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Whoever happens to give birth to mischievous children lives always with unending grief in his spirit and heart.
Misdirected focus on paperwork, on procedures, and on bureaucracy frustrates teachers and fails to give children the education they need.
Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.
Missionaries serve to make life better for God's children.
