Our worlds needs more time to wonder and reflect but there is too much fast paced constant distraction.

I don't believe that children can develop in a healthy way unless they feel that they have value apart from anything they own or any skill that they learn. They need to feel they enhance the life of someone else, that they are needed. Who, better than parents, can let them know that?

What really matters is not just our own winning but helping other people to win, too.

The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.

It would have been sad for me to spend my life just trying to superimpose stuff on people rather than trying to encourage them to look within themselves for what's of value.

Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.

I have really never considered myself a TV star. I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit.
