In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Nothing I've ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.

You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who've never had any.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.

The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

Kids need to remember that when you put something on Twitter, it's not like whispering to your friend, you've put it on a billboard that the whole world, including your own kids someday, can see.

Women don't want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think - in a deeper voice.

The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.

Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy.

Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's very hard for people to stop you.

Nobody ever says, "Can I have your beets?

One of the great mistakes that can be made by a man of my age is to get involved in athletic competition with children-unless, of course, they are under six. And even then, stay away from hide-and-seek.

You can't compete with Walmart. But you can have smaller businesses that are successful.

Old is always fifteen years from now.

If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.

The essence of childhood, of course, is play.

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.

You can teach an old dog new tricks. You just don't want to see the dog doing them.

After creating the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the entire animal kingdom, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to them was "Don't."

Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.
