Love is to be nurtured, protected, and respected, and entered into with a clear mind and a sound heart.

Denene Millner

We all enter the world with fairly simple needs: to be protected, to be nurtured, to be loved unconditionally, and to belong.

Louise Hart

The world my children are growing up in is so much more sophisticated and exposed - emotionally, intellectually, sexually.

Amy Grant

The need to be loved and protected is at a peak when we feel abandoned and are particularly vulnerable to difficult circumstances.

Uta Hagen

I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children.

Jerry Hall

I really don't think we should dismiss a book because we feel messed about intellectually. Or emotionally. That's the writer's job!

Hilton Als

Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be at the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.

Henry C. Link

We know that the airports are not protected as they should be protected. The terminals are public areas, wide open - anyone can go and walk at any terminal he wants.

Isaac Yeffet

Children and unborn children should be protected by law and welcomed into life.

George W. Bush

The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.

Louisa May Alcott

In any event, parents never underestimated the abilities of their own children. Quite the reverse. Sometimes it was well nigh impossible for a teacher to convince the proud father or mother that their beloved offspring was a complete nitwit.

Roald Dahl

Our officers are on the front lines - the first to show up on the scene of a crime. They should be respected; not ridiculed. They and their families protected; not put at risk.

Doug Ducey

The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is to see a husband and his wife and their children happy at home, protected by the principles and laws of the gospel, sealed safely in the covenants of the everlasting priesthood. Husbands and wives should understand that their first calling-from which they will never be released-is to one another and then to their children.

Boyd K. Packer

Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.

Boyd K. Packer

Intellectually, I loved my job, but I didn't get any meaning from it.

Chelsea Clinton

I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society's care.

Camille Paglia
