We Americans are living a lifestyle of exhaustion. We don't have time for ourselves, much less for each other and our children.
James Dobson
Image
Conceit is a weird disease - it makes everybody sick except the guy who has it.
James Dobson
Image
A child identifies his parents with God, whether or not the adults want that role. Most children 'see' God the way they perceive their earthly fathers.
James Dobson
Image
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
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
Show me a husband who keeps his thoughts to himself, and I will show you a frustrated wife.
James Dobson

Marriage succeeds only as lifetime commitment with no escape clauses.
James Dobson
Image
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
Image
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and halfway closed there after.
James Dobson

Homosexuals can be, you know, committed to each other. And they have freedom to behave in the ways that they do, but they cannot be a family. They cannot be married. I mean, virtually every culture in the history of the world has considered marriage to be between one woman and one man.
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
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
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.
James Dobson
Image
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
The United States has been from the beginning greatly influenced and primarily influenced by the Judeo-Christian system of values.
James Dobson
Image
I cannot, and will not, vote for Senator John McCain, as a matter of conscience.
James Dobson
Image
Authority is God ordained, but authoritarianism and raw power, in almost all forms, is dangerous.
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.
