People prefer the certainty of misery to the misery of uncertainty

You have all played a significant part in my development of loving. As a result, my life has been rich and full, so I leave feeling very grateful.

Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understand, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.

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

The Problem is never the problem! It is only a symptom of something much deeper.

We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.

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.
