Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters.

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!

I hid myself within myself ... and quietly wrote down all my joys, sorrows and contempt in my diary.

In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.
