Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get, the more you feel like giving.

A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.

Always kiss your children goodnight - even if they're already asleep.

I always wondered why babies spend so much time sucking their thumbs. Then I tasted baby food.

Babies are always more trouble than you thought - and more wonderful.

Parents have the glorious opportunity of being the most powerful influence, above and beyond any other, on the new lives that bless their homes.

Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other.

It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.

Having a baby is like falling in love again, both with your husband and your child.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.

A baby?s feet, like sea-shells pink Might tempt, should heaven see meet, An angel?s lips to kiss, we think, A baby?s feet.

Flowers are words which even a baby can understand.

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money.

Every baby needs a lap.

Babies need social interactions with loving adults who talk with them, listen to their babblings, name objects for them, and give them opportunities to explore their worlds.

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Don't forget that compared to a grownup person, every baby is a genius.

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

We may come to Jesus and ask Him; He will know all about it; if He comes to a little child, he will adapt himself to the language and capacity of a little child.

This is the culture you're raising your kids in. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face.

We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.

Children are our most valuable natural resource.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.

Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.

I am scared easily, here is a list of my adrenaline - production: 1: small children, 2: policemen, 3: high places, 4: that my next movie will not be as good as the last one.

I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.

I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.

Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.
