The easiest way to teach children the value of money is to borrow some from them

Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.

If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community

I am sure that if people had to choose between living where the noise of children never stopped and where it was never heard, all the good-natured and sound people would prefer the incessant noise to the incessant silence.

I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads and keep them in bowls of water around the house.

We must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy
