Children have an uncanny way of living up - or down - to what is expected of them.

Never let an opportunity pass to give a well-deserved compliment.

Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.

Parents do not owe their progeny an inheritance no matter how much money they have. One of the surest ways to produce loafers and freeloaders is to let children know that their future is assured.

Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future and it doesn't brood over the past.

Church is not a museum for Saints, but rather a hospital for sinners.
