Parents are people who bear children, bore teenagers, and board newlyweds.

They fuck you up, your Mum and Dad. They may not mean to, but they do. And give you all the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.
Children begin by loving their parents. After a time they judge them. Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.
The suspicious parent makes an artful child.
Reasoning with a child is fine, if you can reach the child’s reason without destroying your own.
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they I have walked?
Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
How selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.
Next to God, thy parents.
Honor thy parents those that gave thee birth, and watched in tenderness thine earliest days, and trained thee up in youth, and loved in all. Honor obey, and love them; it shall fill their souls with holy joy, and shall bring down God’s richest blessing on thee; and in days to come, thy children, if they are given, shall honor thee, and fill thy life with peace.
The voice of parents is the voice pf gods, for to their children they are heaven’s lieutenants.
We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves. When we first bend over the cradle of our own child, God throws back the temple door, and reveals to us the sacredness and mystery of a father’s and a mother’s love to ourselves. And in later years, when they have gone from us, there is always a certain sorrow, that we cannot tell them we have found it out. One of the deepest experiences of a noble nature in reference to the loved ones that have passed beyond this world, is the thought of what he might have been to them, and done for them, if he had known, while the were living, what he ahs learned since they died.
There is no such penalty for error and folly as to see one’s children suffer for it. There is no such reward for a well spent life as to see one’s children well started in life, owing to their parents good health, good principles, fixed character, good breeding, and in general the whole outfit, that enables them to fight the battle of life with success.
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
The sacred books of the ancient Persians say: If you would be holy instruct your children, because all the good acts they perform will be imputed to you.
Sins of the parents may be visited upon their children, but it is that the sting may strike back into the parents hearts.
We speak of educating our children. Do we know that our children also educate us?
Parents who wish to train up their children in the way they should go, must go in the way in which they would have their children go.
The illiberality of parents, in allowance toward their children, is a harmful error, and makes them base; acquaints them with shifts; makes them sort with mean company; and makes them surfeit more when they come to plenty; and therefore the proof is best when men keep their authority toward their children, but not their purse.
A suspicious parent makes an artful child.
The father and mother of an unnoticed family, who in their seclusion awaken the mind of one child to the idea and love of goodness, who awaken in him a strength of will to repel temptation, and who send him out prepared to profit by the conflicts of life, surpass in influence a Napoleon breaking the world to his sway.
