Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

Live so as to have a quiet conscience.

What better can parents and children give to each other than respectful, understanding attention.

May I make two citations from the words of a discerning editorial writer, not one of my faith, but one of much faith: "If we neglect the divine . . . and give ourselves over wholly to the human," he said, "we may certainly count upon nothing but the triumph of pessimism. . . . True optimism must rest upon a calm, unshakable faith in eternal life and in the unlimited goodness of him who gives it."

A person soon learns how little he knows when a child begins to ask questions.

We should think seriously before we slam doors, before we burn bridges, before we saw off the limb on which we find ourselves sitting.
