When We Love A Person, We Accept

One Of The Most Important Things A Person Can Learn To Do Is To Make Something Out Of Whatever He Or She Happens To Have At The Moment.

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.

When We Choose To Be Parents, We Accept Another Human Being As Part Of Ourselves, And A Large Part Of Our Emotional Selves Will Stay With That Person As Long As We Live. From That Time On, There Will Be Another Person On This Earth Whose Orbit Around Us Will Affect Us As Surely As The Moon Affects The Tides, And Affect Us In Some Ways More Deeply Than Anyone Else Can. Our Children Are Extensions Of Ourselves.

We Want To Raise Our Children So That They Can Take A Sense Of Pleasure In Both Their Own Heritage And The Diversity Of Others.

As Different As We Are From One Another, As Unique As Each One Of Us Is, We Are Much More The Same Than We Are Different. That May Be The Most Essential Message Of All, As We Help Our Children Grow Toward Being Caring, Compassionate, And Charitable Adults.
