I don't blame homosexuals for being angry when people say they've made a choice to be gay because they don't.
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
We are so busy giving our children what we never had that we forget to give them what we did have.
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
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.

Authority is God ordained, but authoritarianism and raw power, in almost all forms, is dangerous.
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

Behavior runs in deep channels that were cut during early childhood, and it is very difficult to alter them. In order to change a deeply ingrained pattern, you have to build a sturdy dam, dig another canal and reroute the river in the new direction. That effort is rarely successful over the long haul.

I cannot, and will not, vote for Senator John McCain, as a matter of conscience.
James Dobson
Image
One of the problems with sex education... is that it also strips kids - especially girls - of their modesty to have every detail of anatomy, physiology and condom usage made explicit.
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
Image
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
Image
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
Image
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.

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
A disturbing prospect looms before us as Americans consider the possibility of a second term for President Barack Obama. Millions of conservatives who revere the Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and limited government, have watched with alarm as the campaign season has unfolded.

Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.
James Dobson

Respect is intended to operate on a two-way street.
James Dobson
Image
If traditional marriage is not the law of the land, the institution of the family will cease to exist.

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.
