Parents Quotes

No more excuses. I can’t blame anything on my parents. I’m responsible for my mistakes and my choices Picture Quote #1

That look you give your friend when they say something they weren’t supposed to mention in front of your parents Picture Quote #1

Lack of love from parents often motivates their children to go searching for love in other relationships. This search is often misguided and leads to further disappointment Picture Quote #1

Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, and the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up Picture Quote #1

Planning the conversation in your head before asking your parents for something big Picture Quote #1

The awkward moment when you’re smiling at your phone and your parents ask who you’re talking to Picture Quote #1

Were your parents thieves? Because they stole the stars and put them in your eyes Picture Quote #1

Strange about parents. We have such easy access to them and such daunting problems of communication Picture Quote #1

Kids with Down syndrome are, by and large, quite affectionate and relatively guileless, and frequently, the attachments to them grow and deepen. And the meaning that parents find in it grows and deepens Picture Quote #1

We were a religious, practicing, Catholic family - Mass together on Sunday, Catholic schools, and parents who practiced everything they preached. A great gift was their total absence of any derogatory talk about people of any race or culture and we were on a street of many faiths, though no other races at that early time Picture Quote #1

My parents offered me my first camera for my birthday and I developed an exclusive passion for it over the years. Since I was not the most social kid on the block, the camera helped me to express myself, invent my own language - something like a secret garden. I decided early on I would not write in a diary but take silent photographs instead Picture Quote #1

It’s intrusive for grandparents to think they’re in charge. It’s manipulative. Also, it’s self-destructive, since if the parents have to resist you, you won’t get your mitts on the kid as often Picture Quote #1

I was broke until I was 40. Really broke. I could get by, but I had nothing. No health insurance, so if something happened I was screwed. I was lucky my parents had money and my brother was willing to support me for a long time. Once I started doing standup, I had an income, and that was amazing to me Picture Quote #1

I want to create the airplane that flies in the rarified atmosphere of Mars. This is what galvanizes a generation to want to become scientists and engineers in the first place, not we need a scientist to develop a plane that’s 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the one your parents flew Picture Quote #1

Parents learn the uses of power and its limits. They can insist on certain outward behavior but cannot change inner attitudes. They can require obedience but not goodness - and certainly not love Picture Quote #1

If dysfunction means that a family doesn’t work, then every family ambles into some arena in which that happens, where relationships get strained or even break down entirely. We fail each other or disappoint each other. That goes for parents, siblings, kids, marriage partners - the whole enchilada Picture Quote #1

We tend to think of divorced or complicated families as a modern invention, and that is not at all true. You only have to read the Greek myths to see broken homes, widows, divorce, stepchildren, children trying to get along with new parents Picture Quote #1

One thing that was very clear to me is that the young people in a place like Annawadi aren’t tripping on caste the way their parents are. They know their parents have these old views Picture Quote #1

When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before Picture Quote #1

In my very first interview, at nine years old, I said I wanted to be an Olympic gold medalist. That was the first time I said it out loud in front of somebody other than my parents Picture Quote #1

When I was starting out, being a young entrepreneur was not fashionable. Parents would ask, ‘When are you going to get a real job?’ Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and my parents are really right wingers. My dad watches, like, five or six hours of Fox News every day and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

When your parents are Middle Eastern immigrants, you have three choices. You can become a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer Picture Quote #1

My heroes always are mostly my parents - my father especially, and my mom, who’s passed on already. My dad is a very strong man, and by him being educated, and a principal and school superintendent over 37 years, he plays such a big role in my life Picture Quote #1

I think my parents were really smart parents. I think they were, actually, pretty progressive for the time. The one thing that they really wanted me to know is what makes me tick, what I am about, how I approach life. And I think what my parents really wanted for me was for me to be who I am Picture Quote #1

I was ten years old in 1969, and while we lived in Arizona that year, I spent most of the summer staying with family friends in Portland, Oregon while my parents visited Spain. It was an adventure all around Picture Quote #1

I grew up in northern New Jersey - the banlieue of New York - and I now live in Brooklyn. I am separated from my parents by about 50 miles, but really there is almost no distance between us. I speak to them nearly every day Picture Quote #1

Our contemporary society is experimenting with the diminishment of caregivers for children. Some children are raised through crucial stages of life by only one person. This one person, who strives to give the best, may be overwhelmed, busy, trying to raise many children. And even in homes with two parents, many children are essentially alone Picture Quote #1

What I want to be best at is being a dad. There’s no room for sucky dads, and that’s another thing I’m proud of my bandmates for - they’re all really good parents Picture Quote #1

I was raised on technology. I grew up in Livermore, California, a town of physicists and cowboys. My parents worked at the government laboratories there. So technology was very normal for me Picture Quote #1
