I believe that the role of limited government should be looking after the needs of veterans, the elderly, children and those institutions that improve the quality of life for struggling families - I don't believe that government should bend to serve the needs of subsidized multi-national corporations and entitled billionaires.
~ Moby
If you ask the government to solve all of your problems, it's a bit like asking your wife to cook and clean, to raise the children, to hold down a second job to help with the family finances, to keep her parents happy and well and keep your parents happy and well, and to also - to do the lawn and clean the gutters.
~ P. J. O'rourke
If children do not understand the Constitution, they cannot understand how our government functions, or what their rights and responsibilities are as citizens of the United States.
~ John Roberts
Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job. But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
~ Rod Blagojevich
Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man, my fiance Ashanti, whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me, I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.
~ Angie Stone
I urge you children to be patient with your parents. If they seem to be out of touch on such vital issues as dating, clothing styles, modern music, and use of family cars, listen to them anyway. They have the experience that you lack.
~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Whenever I date a guy, I think, 'Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?'
~ Rita Rudner
I don't know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.
~ Ginnifer Goodwin
Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and, if he had the money, an early dinner somewhere.
~ Andre Dubus Iii
My mum wants me to get married - and have children, of course. She's met Gaga; we've been dating a while. We're in a committed relationship, and I'm really happy in my relationship. I'm a very lucky guy. As far as having more of a domestic life and settling down into my relationship, we have to see what happens.
~ Taylor Kinney
I grew up between the two world wars and received a rather solid general education, the kind middle class children enjoyed in a country whose educational system had its roots dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
~ George Andrew Olah
Obesity in children is growing out of control. A big part of this is economic. Fake foods are more affordable. It's enticing people to eat more because they think they're saving money when they're really just buying heart disease.
~ Jillian Michaels
Young children need to develop good habits that will be useful to them the rest of their lives. It is important to keep the lessons age-appropriate. For example, when your children start earning allowances, that would be a good time to teach them how to put some money in the bank instead of spending it all.
~ Bill Rancic
If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.

~ Samuel Gompers
Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.
~ Michael Jackson
All I wanted to do was write - at the time, poems, and prose, too. I guess my ambition was simply to make money however I could to keep myself going in some modest way, and I didn't need much, I was unmarried at the time, no children.
~ Paul Auster
We don't have the money in America to keep paying for the education of everybody else's children from around the world. We simply don't have the financial resources to do that.
~ Mo Brooks
The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.
~ Leonard Boswell
An arts education helps build academic skills and increase academic performance, while also providing alternative opportunities to reward the skills of children who learn differently.
~ Gavin Newsom
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
~ Nelson Mandela
Economic prosperity and quality education for our children are inexorably linked.
~ Jon Huntsman

~ Sylvia Mathews Burwell
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
~ Ernest Dimnet
Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.
~ Solomon Ortiz
Sex education is legitimate in that girls cannot be taught soon enough how children don't come into the world.
~ Karl Kraus
Now the problem with standardized tests is that it's based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors. And we can't, because human beings are very different from motorcars, and they have feelings about what they do and motivations in doing it, or not.
~ Ken Robinson
At their core, Americans all want the same basic things: a quality education for their children, a good job so they can provide for their families, healthcare and affordable prescription drugs, security during retirement, a strongly equipped military and national security.
~ Ruben Hinojosa
We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens.

~ Kirsten Gillibrand
Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education, free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy, productive, well-prepared young people.
~ Jane Fonda
Latinos are concerned about the same pocketbook issues that matter to most middle class Americans - creating good-paying jobs in this country, making sure our children get a quality education, and ensuring that our families have access to affordable and quality healthcare.
~ Linda Sanchez
I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future.
~ Wilma Mankiller
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
~ Alexandre Dumas
You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children's education.
~ Arne Duncan
