Our bodies are shaped to bear children and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.

Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of little children are pure. Therefore the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.

Our promise to our children should be this: if you do well in school we will pay for you to obtain a college degree.

Everybody wants you to do good things but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry have children and go to their football games.

Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.

While approximately one in every 400 children and adolescents have Type I diabetes recent Government reports indicate that one in every three children born in 2000 will suffer from obesity which as noted is a predominant Type II precursor.

In my view the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children under a free government ought to be instructed.

And a special thank you to the citizens of Massachusetts: You are paying all the taxes creating all the jobs raising all the children. This government is yours. Thank you for letting me serve you. I love this job.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life the children those who are in the twilight of life the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life the sick the needy and the handicapped.

I am poor and naked but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love.
