More quotes by James Dobson
Authority is God ordained, but authoritarianism and raw power, in almost all forms, is dangerous.
James Dobson
I cannot, and will not, vote for Senator John McCain, as a matter of conscience.
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
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
Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime. I certainly can't vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions.
James Dobson
Faith in God - life can never take you by surprise again.
James Dobson
When these parenting years have passed, something precious will have flickered and gone out of my life. Thus, I am resolved to enjoy every day that remains in this fathering era.
James Dobson
My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.
James Dobson
God does not need our money. But you and I need the experience of giving it
James Dobson
The United States has been from the beginning greatly influenced and primarily influenced by the Judeo-Christian system of values.
James Dobson
Here's why I cannot vote for Rudy Giuliani. He's pro-abortion. He's never repudiated gay marriage in New York City or at least the civil unions in New York City. He's called a champion of gay rights. Rudy is opposed to school choice. He's in favor of open borders.
James Dobson
Conceit is a weird disease - it makes everybody sick except the guy who has it.
James Dobson
There are very few certainties that touch us all in this mortal experience, but one of the absolutes is that we will experience hardship and stress at some point.
James Dobson
Clearly, unless the Lord chooses to explain Himself to us, which often He does not, His motivation and purposes are beyond the reach of mortal man. What this means in practical terms is that many of our questions - especially those that begin with the word 'why' - will have to remain unanswered for the time being.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
