I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before... me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work -you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Since civilizing children takes the better part of two decades--some twenty years of nonstop thinking, nurturing, teaching, coaxin...g, rewarding, forgiving, warning, punishing, sympathizing, apologizing, reminding, and repeating, not to mention deciding what to do when--I now understand that one wrong move is invariably followed by hundreds of opportunities to be wrong again.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The judges did the punishing, the criminals paid for their crimes and I, free of responsibilities, removed from judgment and from ...punishment, I ruled, freely, in an edenic light.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There are, undoubtedly, women who are weak and silly, and simple, and who are taken advantage of by designing men. Until we have s...uch systems of education as will tend to prevent women from being weak, simple, and silly, it is undoubtedly right to have laws punishing seduction with the utmost severity; but we have also ... ninnies among men, and ought we not, therefore, to have laws for their protection? An Act of the Legislature entitled "An Act for the Protection of Ninnies against Designing Women" would be refreshing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Only what is rare is valuable. Let no one dare to call another mad who is not himself willing to rank in the same class for e...very perversion and fault of judgment.

Good discipline is more than just punishing or laying down the law. It is liking children and letting them see that they are liked.... It is caring enough about them to provide good, clear rules for their protection.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
