More quotes by Benjamin Spock
I really learned it all from mothers.
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
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
Grandparents have the freedom to see their grandchildren uncritically.
Benjamin Spock
Our greatest hope is to bring up children inspired by their opportunities for being helpful and loving.

When women are encouraged to be competitive, too many of them become disagreeable.
Benjamin Spock
I love to dance and I'd love to be saying goodbye to my friends while the band was playing and they were dancing...I want them to remember I was a dancing man in my day.
Benjamin Spock
The children who are appreciated for what they are, even if they are homely, or clumsy, or slow, will grow up with confidence in themselves and happy. They will have a spirit that will make the best of all the capacities that they do have and of all the opportunities that come their way.
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

Benjamin Spock

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
Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.
Benjamin Spock
A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.
Benjamin Spock
To win in Vietnam, we will have to exterminate a nation.
Benjamin Spock
If I could make only one wish for a child, I'd wish him the quality of lovingness.
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
The fact is that child rearing is a long, hard job, the rewards are not always immediately obvious, the work is undervalued, and parents are just as human and almost as vulnerable as their children.
Benjamin Spock
