Harvey Fierstein

My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn't there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay.

American Actor

Joel Osteen

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There's the teaching that we're supposed to be poor to show that we're humble. I don't buy that. I think we're supposed to be leaders. We're supposed to excel.

American Clergyman

Madonna Ciccone

With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child from who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems.

American Musician

Juan Gabriel

Since I was sent to an orphanage, and I saw very little of my mother, I can counsel mothers that you shouldn't abandon your children. Before you bring a child into the world, think deeply about things, so that they lack absolutely nothing, least of all love.

Mexican Musician

Mohamed ElBaradei

My sister-in-law works for a group that supports orphanages in Cairo. She and her colleagues take care of children left behind by circumstances beyond their control. They feed these children, clothe them, and teach them to read.

Egyptian Scientist

Sam Brownback

I went to a number of foreign countries, and during whenever I went, I would try to go to an orphanage or a home for children. And I was seeing thousands of kids around the world that needed homes.

American Politician

Wayne Dyer

When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here's the most important person in my life, and I never met him.

American Psychologist

Rodney Stark

Can anyone seriously imagine a society without stable families? Maybe we should raise all the kids in state orphanages.

American Theologian

Oksana Masters

They said if I stayed in the orphanage for another month or so, I basically would not have been able to be alive.

American Athlete

Jessie Reyez

Before I pass, I want to start an orphanage and name it after my mother. She worked with kids all her life.

Canadian Musician

Orphanage often evokes strong emotions as it relates to children without parents.

Parents of children in an orphanage may be alive but unable to care for them.
