“It’s not the words but the music that counts.”

I agree today that a man has no business trying to tell women what their characteristics are, which ones are inborn, which are more admirable, which will be best utilized by what occupations.

I was so afraid of being bad and being caught at it.

Every child senses, with all the horse sense that’s in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be.

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?

Biologically and temperamentally… women were made to be concerned firt and foremost with child care, husband care and home care.

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

Don’t worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.

I was proud of the youths who opposed the war in Vietnam because they were my babies.

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

Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal.

A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.

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.

To win in Vietnam, we will have to exterminate a nation.

Don’t take too seriously all that the neighbors say. Don’t be overawed by what the experts say. Don’t be afraid to trust your own common sense.

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.

Respect children because they’re human beings and they deserve respect, and they’ll grow up to be better people.

It’s not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.

What counts the most for women is having the confidence to make your own money.

Success is baby steps, the small accomplishments, and the days where you want to give up, but you try a little harder that counts.  

What counts the most for women is having the confidence to make your own money.

Every action to preserve our biodiversity for our future generations counts.

As many times as it takes is the only count worth keeping.

You deserve the best, the very best, because you are one of the few people in this lousy world who are honest to themselves, and that is the only thing that really counts.
