  2. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    A child should always say what’s true
       And speak when he is spoken to,
    And behave mannerly at table;
       At least as far as he is able.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Poem (1885), “Whole Duty of Children,” A Child’s Garden of Verses

  3. A quotation from Steven Levitt

    No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

    Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
    Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]

  4. A quotation from John Adams

    It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Letter (1775-10-29) to Abigail Adams
