James Dobson
Image
You have to work to keep love alive you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.

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.

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.

Respect is intended to operate on a two-way street.
James Dobson
Image

James Dobson
Image
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

Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson

Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.
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.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and halfway closed there after.
James Dobson

We Americans are living a lifestyle of exhaustion. We don't have time for ourselves, much less for each other and our children.
