Most Of Us, I Believe, Admire Strength.

We Don't Always Succeed In What We Try, Certainly Not By The World's Standards, But I Think You'll Find It's The Willingness To Keep Trying That Matters Most.

I Feel So Strongly That Deep And Simple Is Far More Essential Than Shallow And Complex.

It Is One Of The Paradoxes Of Parenting, And Often A Painful Paradox, That Even As Our Children Need Us For Love And Trust, They Also Need Us For Honest Differing. It's Not Only Over Limits And Rules...[but Also] About What We Represent In The Way Of Culture, Traditions, And Values. We Owe It To Our Children To Let Them Know What We Believe, And If They Differ With Us, We Owe It To Them To Be Honest Adversaries, For It Is Through This Honest Confrontation That Children Can Grow Into Adults Who Have A Firm Sense Of Their Place In The Sequence Of The Generations.

Love Isn't A Perfect State Of Caring.

When We're Able To Resign Ourselves To The Wishes That Will Never Come True, There Can Be Enormous Energies Available Within Us For Whatever We Can Do.
