More quotes by Benjamin Spock
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.
Benjamin Spock
The main source of good discipline is growing up in a loving family, being loved and learning to love in return.
Benjamin Spock
It's not the words but the music that counts.
Benjamin Spock
The strongest rebellion may be expressed in quiet, undramatic behavior.

Benjamin Spock
It's an ideal existence. Out in the open. Berating the president of he United States... I'm free to thwart and torment the authorities - that is to say, I can get out my hostilities - because I'm protected in my conscience by the knowledge that what I'm doing is morally right. I've never been so relaxed. I've never been so happy.
Benjamin Spock
If I could make only one wish for a child, I'd wish him the quality of lovingness.
Benjamin Spock
Physical punishment teaches children that the larger, stronger person has the power to get his way, whether or not he is in the right, and they may resent this in the parent-for life.
Benjamin Spock
In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
Benjamin Spock
Having a good time together is the essence of lovingness and the best means of increasing it.
Benjamin Spock
Can we make a better world for our children? I believe we can, if enough people are concerned and get involved in changing what is wrong with society.
Benjamin Spock
Parental trust is extremely important in the guidance of adolescent children as they get further and further away from the direct supervision of their parents and teachers. I don't mean that trust without clear guidance is enough, but guidance without trust is worthless.
Benjamin Spock
Don't be afraid to trust your own common sense.
Benjamin Spock
Don't worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.
Benjamin Spock
A boy, by the age of 3 years, senses that his destiny is to be a man, so he watches his father particularly-his interests, manner, speech, pleasures, his attitude toward work.
Benjamin Spock
Like my parents, I have never been a regular church member or churchgoer. It doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His precepts - there is just too much misery and cruelty for that.
Benjamin Spock
Boys and girls need chances to be around their father, to be enjoyed by him and if possible to do things with him. Better to play fifteen minutes enjoyably and then say, 'Now I'm going to read my paper' than to spend all day at the zoo crossly.
Benjamin Spock
I really learned it all from mothers.
Benjamin Spock
