More quotes by Benjamin Spock
The strongest rebellion may be expressed in quiet, undramatic behavior.
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
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.
Benjamin Spock
Sex education, including its spiritual aspects, should be part of a broad health and moral education from kindergarten through grade twelve, ideally carried out harmoniously by parents and teachers.
Benjamin Spock
It's not the words but the music that counts.
Benjamin Spock
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.
Benjamin Spock
When women are encouraged to be competitive, too many of them become disagreeable.
Benjamin Spock
Our greatest hope is to bring up children inspired by their opportunities for being helpful and loving.
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
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
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
Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.
Benjamin Spock
Don't be afraid to trust your own common sense.
Benjamin Spock
A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.
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
It's up to each of us to help create a better world for our children.
Benjamin Spock
All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.
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
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
There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.
