Faith in God - life can never take you by surprise again.

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
Image
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
Image
When you let people put you up on a pedestal, you step one step in any direction, and you're going to go down.
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.

God does not need our money. But you and I need the experience of giving it
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
Image
God's Heart is especially tender toward the downtrodden and the defeated. He knows your name and He has seen every tear you have shed.
James Dobson
Image
[P]ain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely.
James Dobson
Image
There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.
James Dobson
Image
My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.
James Dobson
Image
Can't you see the Creator of the universe, who understands every secret, every mystery, sitting patiently and listening to a four-year-old talk to Him? That's a beautiful image of a father.
James Dobson
Image
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
Image
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.
