More quotes by James Dobson
Prayer and dependence on God has been our history. How unfortunate it is now that an unaccountable and unelected and misguided judge from Wisconsin, Judge Barbara Crabb, has declared National Days of Prayer - established by the Congress - to be unconstitutional.
James Dobson
If you let a child know that you think he is lazy, sloppy, untruthful, unpleasant, and thoughtless, he'll probably prove you are right. Obviously, it is much better to make him stretch to reach a positive image than stoop to match one at ground level.
James Dobson
Tell me why it is that a toddler will gag over a perfectly wonderful breakfast of ham, eggs, biscuits, juice, and jelly. But then he will enthusiastically drink the dog's water and play in the toilet. Truly, he is his mother's greatest challenge... and her most inexpressible joy.
James Dobson
Faith in God - life can never take you by surprise again.
James Dobson
Show me a husband who keeps his thoughts to himself, and I will show you a frustrated wife.
James Dobson
By learning to yield to the loving authority of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of authority which will confront him later in his life — his teachers, school principal, police, neighbors and employers.
James Dobson
Morality and immorality are not defined by man's changing attitudes and social customs. They are determined by the God of the universe, whose timeless standards cannot be ignored with impunity.
James Dobson
We are so busy giving our children what we never had that we forget to give them what we did have.
James Dobson
Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.
James Dobson
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and halfway closed there after.
James Dobson
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
James Dobson
You have to work to keep love alive you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.
James Dobson
Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.
James Dobson
Real crying usually lasts two minutes or less, but may continue for five. After that point, the child is merely complaining... I would require him to stop the protest crying, usually by offering him a little more of whatever caused the original tears.
James Dobson
God does not need our money. But you and I need the experience of giving it
James Dobson
Barring a miracle, the family that has existed since antiquity will likely crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself. This is a time for concerted prayer, divine wisdom and greater courage than we have ever been called upon to exercise.
James Dobson
The Lord doesn't always remove the sources of stress in our lives...but He's always there and cares for us. We can feel His arms around us on the darkest night.
James Dobson
If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.
James Dobson
It is my view that our society can be no more stable than the foundation of individual family units upon which it rests. Our government, our institutions, our schools...indeed, our way of life are dependent on healthy marriages and loyalty to the vulnerable little children around our feet.
James Dobson
One of the first things you and your fiance need to develop is a meaningful prayer life even before the wedding. My wife, Shirley, and I did that, and the time we have spent on our knees has been the stabilizing factor throughout nearly forty years of marriage.
