I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child but in all reality I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me I was raised in this society.

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.

The people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future.

The Viennese wash everything. Where else in the world does the government hire public servants to wash public telephone booths and the glass over traffic lights? Every time I see someone doing these things I smile like a child.

When trying to remember my share in the glow of the eternal present in the smile of God I return to my childhood too for that is where the most significant discoveries turn up.

Children learn to smile from their parents.

I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science.

In order for America to remain a global leader in innovation and opportunity we must give our children a solid foundation in math and science.

As a child I read science fiction but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure I read a lot of non-fictional history particularly historical biography.

We've made science experiments of ourselves and our children.
