Raising children is a creative endeavor, an art rather than a science.
- Bruno Bettelheim
I think that poetry is perfect for women raising children, with just bits of time and such need to connect to other women out of the isolation of motherhood.
- Francesca Lia Block
I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: "Checkout Time is 18 years."
- Erma Bombeck
Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.
- Eric Braeden
I think that enduring, committed love between a married couple, along with raising children, is the most noble act anyone can aspire to. It is not written about very much.
- Nicholas Sparks
We're not raising children with the love that we need to.
- Bill Cosby
Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.
- Bill Cosby
Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son.
- Chris Christie
Raising children is, in a sense, the reason the society exists in the first place. It's the most important thing that happens, and it's the culmination of all the tools and language and social structure that has evolved.
- Michael Crichton
Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.
- Democritus
What you discovered about yourself in raising children wasn't always agreeable or attractive.
- Jonathan Franzen
There was something almost tasty and almost sexy in letting the annoying boy be punished by her husband. In standing blamelessly aside while the boy suffered for having hurt her.

She had the kind of looks that had probably been quite pretty in high school, but were now worn down by years of smoking cigarettes, raising children, and the disappointment of being married to an asshole.
- Tami Hoag
No one's raising children any more. To love a child, you've got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night!
- Lauren Hutton
Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future...If you are still in the process of raising children be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon, and that you will, to your surprise, miss them, profoundly.
- Thomas S Monson
In short, the Enlightenment privatized marriage, taking it out of the public sphere, and redefined its purpose as individual gratification, not any "broader good" such as reflecting God's nature, producing character, or raising children. Slowly but surely, this newer understanding of the meaning of marriage has displaced the older ones in Western culture.
- Timothy Keller
One thing I know for sure about raising children is that every single day a kid needs discipline.... But also every single day a kid needs a break.
- Anne Lamott
He [David Foster Wallace] compares raising children to raising books, you should take pride in the work you do inside a family and not from how they make out in the world. "It's good to want a child to do well, but it's bad to want that glory to reflect back on you," is what he says.
- David Lipsky
I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.
- Lee Majors
I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn't. Hey, it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account; you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.
- Dee Dee Myers
Even as we enumerate their shortcomings, the rigor of raising children ourselves makes clear to us our mothers' incredible strength. We fear both. If they are not strong, who will protect us? If they are not imperfect, how can we equal them?
- Anna Quindlen
As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.
- Hilary Rosen
Women may give lip service to wanting husbands who take on an equal role in raising children, but many will pull rank when an important decision, like how to discipline or what baby sitter to hire, has to be made.
- Pepper Schwartz
The rules for raising children had gone out with her parents generation of daughters who had lived as Lucy had, in patient silence, acting by standards which had lasted generations, waiting to grow up to make their decisions, following the patterns of their own lives.
- Susan Richards Shreve
Before I married, I had three theories about raising children and no children. Now, I have three children and no theories.
- John Wilmot
