James Dobson quotes

Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without. (James Dobson)

One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others, smile at them, and be a friend to the friendless.

James Dobson

A disturbing prospect looms before us as Americans consider the possibility of a second term for President Barack Obama. Millions of conservatives who revere the Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and limited government, have watched with alarm as the campaign season has unfolded.

James Dobson

Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.

James Dobson

Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.

James Dobson

If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.

James Dobson

God's Heart is especially tender toward the downtrodden and the defeated. He knows your name and He has seen every tear you have shed.

James Dobson

By learning to yield to the loving authority... of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of authority which will confront him later in his life - his teachers, school principal, police, neighbors and employers.

James Dobson

Some strong-willed children absolutely demand to be spanked, and their wishes should be granted... [T]wo or three stinging strokes on the legs or buttocks with a switch are usually sufficient to emphasize the point, 'You must obey me.

James Dobson

Politics is dirty. Politics is exciting. Politics is often very, very difficult and disappointing. And I really would rather the world would be a little more like it was when my dad was young, where you knew pretty much where people stood on the great moral issues.

James Dobson

I don't blame homosexuals for being angry when people say they've made a choice to be gay, because they don't. (James Dobson)

My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong.

James Dobson

If traditional marriage is not the law of the land, the institution of the family will cease to exist.

James Dobson

God has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election.

James Dobson

Although individual temperaments vary, boys are designed to be more assertive, audacious, and excitable than girls are.

James Dobson

My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.

James Dobson

Here's why I cannot vote for Rudy Giuliani. He's pro-abortion. He's never repudiated gay marriage in New York City or at least the civil unions in New York City. He's called a champion of gay rights. Rudy is opposed to school choice. He's in favor of open borders.

James Dobson

The United States has been from the beginning greatly influenced and primarily influenced by the Judeo-Christian system of values.

James Dobson

Clearly, unless the Lord chooses to explain Himself to us, which often He does not, His motivation and purposes are beyond the reach of mortal man. What this means in practical terms is that many of our questions - especially those that begin with the word 'why' - will have to remain unanswered for the time being.

James Dobson

Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.

James Dobson

I would like to thank those who spoke boldly against the 'gay marriage float' in the 2014 Rose Parade. Apparently, that vigorous opposition came from perhaps millions of people, and it had a significant influence on how the matter was handled on network and cable television. (James Dobson)

Homosexuals can be, you know, committed to each other. And they have freedom to behave in the ways that they do, but they cannot be a family. They cannot be married. I mean, virtually every culture in the history of the world has considered marriage to be between one woman and one man.

James Dobson

If two men or two women can marry, then there is no way a court could deny three men and two women or any combination thereof.

James Dobson

[P]ain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely.

James Dobson

Clearly, the Scripture tells us that we lack the capacity to grasp God's infinite mind or the way He intervenes in our lives. How arrogant of us to think otherwise! Trying to analyze His omnipotence is like an amoeba attempting to comprehend the behavior of man.
