Bill Kristol Quotes

Train your child in the way in which you know you should have gone yourself.

Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.

All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.

I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence.

The parents have not only to train their children: it is of at least equal importance that they should train themselves.

My parents were there: in front of me, behind me, in the middle of my life at all times: reprimanding me, giving me confidence, teaching me valuable lessons, to help make me the man I am today.

All parents hope and pray that their children will make wise decisions. Children who are obedient and responsible bring to their parents unending pride and satisfaction.

Who knows what would have become of me, if my parents had not had their influence on me.

Parents have no greater responsibility in this world than the bringing up of their children in the right way, and they will have no greater satisfaction as the years pass than to see those children grow in integrity and honesty and make something of their lives.

The best you can do is set your kids on the right track; staying on it without falling is up to the kids.

I'm the one person who wears the words 'hustle, loyalty, respect' on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children. It's very flattering to see a kid wear your T-shirt; it's even more flattering to have a dad come up to you and say, 'I watch you with my kid. Keep doing what you're doing. You're a role model for my son.'

My father said that I could always become an actress, but I couldn't go back to college later in life. So I had to first finish my education, and then I could do what I wanted. At the time, I was not pleased, but now, I can't thank him enough. My parents were absolutely right.

I know that everything my dad made me do made me better.

My parents have a great role in inculcating values in me.

Part of life is learning what to be ashamed of and what to be proud of.

My kids know they can't make the same mistakes I've made. They've been through a lot with me always being on the road.

When I read a good story, I often start thinking, 'Should I live my life according to what this character chooses and values?' It makes me think. I feel like I grew up to be a more mature person while thinking about character development in these fictional situations.

'Girl in the City Chapter 2' will still continue to revolve around Meera Sehgal and her life, her friends, and her passion. The stark difference in 'Chapter 2' will be that all the characters have now grown up in the series - in terms of maturity if not so much age.

The upbringing my parents gave me has got me through the ups and downs in my life. My parents always believed that children need to be compassionate and caring human beings above anything. I wish and hope the same for my son Ranveer.

I could have gone down a very different path, but my parents would not let me give up football.

To be happy. That's the only reason I made the decision to come to L.A. It's not only about football; it's more about life.

My mother is happy with whatever I choose to do in life as long as I'm happy, healthy, and safe.

My parents are very supportive: they helped redirect my technology attitude and my punkness into positive things.

I want my kids to be good. I want them to be safe and have a great, long life. And take what they need from me and leave what they don't. Definitely leave what they don't.
