The thing I remember best about successful people I've met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they're doing and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they're doing, and they love it in front of others.

Play is really the work of childhood.

Whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. Nobody knows what you're thinking or feeling unless you share it.

Solitude is different from loneliness, and it doesn't have to be a lonely kind of thing.

I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.

I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.
