I've come to the realization that a lot of our problems are because of a dearth of spiritual values.

What is the use of physicians like myself trying to help parents to bring up children healthy and happy, to have them killed in such numbers for a cause that is ignoble?

There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.

The loving person makes other people feel good, and he is usually a happy person himself. He is able to form strong, long-lasting friendships.

If I could make only one wish for a child, I'd wish him the quality of lovingness.

Democracy appears to me potentially a higher form of political organization than any kind of dictatorship. But if it turns out that in America, which could afford a decent living for everyone, the comfortable majority is willing to condone the misery and abuse of a minority for an indefinite period, the exploitation by the majority becomes as repugnant as exploitation by an oligarchy, and democracy loses half its supposed superiority.

All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.
