People have said, "You've turned your back on pediatrics." I said, "No. It took me until I was in my 60s to realize that politics was a part of pediatrics."

Boys and girls need chances to be around their father, to be enjoyed by him and if possible to do things with him. Better to play fifteen minutes enjoyably and then say, 'Now I'm going to read my paper' than to spend all day at the zoo crossly.

I really learned it all from mothers.

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.

I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.

Having a good time together is the essence of lovingness and the best means of increasing it.

Can we make a better world for our children? I believe we can, if enough people are concerned and get involved in changing what is wrong with society.
