“Only children tell the whole truth, you know. That's what makes them children.”

“Tell the children the truth.”

“Many parents make mistakes with their children, thinking they know what's best for them.”

“I understand solidarity in sin among men; solidarity in retribution I also understand; but what solidarity in sin do little children have? ...And if the suffering of children goes to make up the sum of suffering needed to buy truth, then I assert beforehand that the whole of truth is not worth such a price.”

“They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and children. Guess which one I am.”

“To bring up our children in light and truth we must ourselves be sources of light and truth. We must not only teach our children true principles but 'bring them up' surrounded by and immersed in light and truth. The way we live (our 'traditions'), the example we set, and the values that guide our actions must lead our children to God. Indeed, our children learn who God is and what he is like by the way that we treat them.”
