We can't form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.

What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.

if only these treasures were not so fragile as they are precious and beautiful.
