Honoring Parents Quotes

“Today, I celebrate my Mother. Strong, passionate, stubborn and proud. An educator, and wife. She was both fearless and vulnerable, unashamed of either. She demanded the best, especially of me. I dedicate my life to exceeding her highest expectations. This is how I honor my Mother, my friend, my inspiration. In spirit she forever guides me. Thank you momma, for I am never lost.”
― Carlos Wallace

“Old men want to feel that the experience which has come with their years is valuable, that their advice is valuable, that they possess a sagacity that could be obtained only through experience— a sagacity that could be of use to young men if only young men would ask.”
― Robert A. Caro, Master of the Senate

“A father and a mother who are not honored are essentially adult peers of their children. They are not parents. No generation knows better than ours the terrible consequences of growing up without a father. Fatherless boys are far more likely to grow up and commit violent crime, mistreat women, and act out against society in every other way. Girls who do not have a father to honor—and, hopefully, to love as well—are more likely to seek the wrong men and to be promiscuous at an early age.”
― Dennis Prager, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code

“Keeping secrets from your father will only lead to trouble.”
― S.R. Ford, Mimgardr

“She is created from honor and glory,
knitted with love and grace.
She is made of joy, speaks from peace and guides through wisdom.
She is a bearer of hope and nurturer of future;
God's humble gift, His craftsmanship,
created for a marvelous work.
She is called Mother.”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle

“If you build a society in which children honor their parents, your society will long survive. And the corollary is: A society in which children do not honor their parents is doomed to self-destruction.”
― Dennis Prager, A Dark Time in America

“If you build a society in which children honor their parents, your society will long survive. And the corollary is: a society in which children do not honor their parents is doomed to self-destruction. In our time, this connection between honoring parents and maintaining civilization is not widely recognized.”
― Dennis Prager, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code

“Neither the Ten Commandments nor the Bible elsewhere commands us to love our parents. This is particularly striking given that the Bible commands us to love our neighbor, to love God, and to love the stranger. The Bible understands that there will always be individuals who, for whatever reason, do not love a parent. Therefore, it does not demand what may be psychologically or emotionally impossible. But it does demand that we show honor to our parents. And it makes this demand only with regard to parents. There is no one else whom the Bible commands us to honor.”
― Dennis Prager, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code

“Honoring is not a two-dimensional action. Some parents are worthy of abundant honor. Others are worthy of less honor. But God wants all parents to be honored to some degree. What God is asking each adult child to do in the 5th Commandment is to give honor in a sensible, thoughtful, and appropriate action.”
― Gregory B Grindstead

“Blaming your parents for their obvious mistakes does not just hinder your ability to honor them where honor is due. Blaming them allows you to avoid the question “What could I have done differently? What SHOULD I have done differently?”
― Gregory B Grindstead - The Hidden Promise, Honoring Your Parents

“Starting with the generally held Christian belief that God used the Ten Commandments as the foundation of morality, then neglecting or breaking your connection to your parents is an immoral act. Doing the opposite of any one God’s moral laws is by definition immoral.

There are many Christians who would never think about robbing banks or committing adultery. They feel that it is very important that our culture live morally within the boundaries of the Judeo Christian influence of the Ten Commandments. But either through laziness, ignorance, or being offended, they do not maintain a connection to their parents. Because our culture has taught dishonoring of parents as a normal thing, their consciences never seem to bother them.”
