the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.

Furnish an example, stop preaching, stop shielding, don't prevent self-reliance and initiative, allow your children to develop along thier own lines.

We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.

Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.

Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I do not want church groups controlling the schools of our country. They must remain free.
