Many people are living in an emotional jail without realizing it.

Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.

Taste everything, but swallow only what fits.

Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem.

So much is asked of parents, and so little is given.

We need to see ourselves as basic miracles.

In the nurturing family...parents see themselves as empowering leaders not as authoritative bosses. They see their job primarily as one of teaching their children how to be truly human in all situations. They readily acknowledge to the child their poor judgment as well as their good judgment; their hurt, anger, or disappointment as well as their joy. The behavior of these parents matches what they say.
