Those who judge children in their innocence, prove themselves the lesser of character and the greater of ignorance.

The only true failure is failure to try.

Though the boot may fit the foot, one can rarely stand in the tread of his own reputation.

A father who denies a child of his attention is no better than a fully-equipped medic who watches idly as a soldier bleeds to death.

A family ship will never sink until it is abandoned by its crew.

A cheerful demeanor makes brighter the day; as the sun, chasing darkness and sorrow away.

Never blame others for tracking in mud, until you have checked your own feet.
