If you do not train up your child, time will do it.
The training of children is like chewing stones.
Your riches and children are your enemies—beware of them (Koran).
The joy of parents in their children prolongs life.
Sorrow for a child is a burning fire in the heart.
He who is not tender to his child shall find no tenderness in God to him.
Your children are not too many for Death, nor is your money too much for a rapacious governor.
FILIAL DUTY
When your father and mother become old, and you take them into your house, say not a word of impatience to them, nor rebuke them, but speak graciously, and be humble to them, and say: "O my God, be merciful to them, even as they tended me when I was young" (Koran).
