A parent's best intentions are no substitute for attention.

It has always been, and will always be true; those who do the most good suffer more than most do.

For every sacrifice, there is an expectation of reward.

There is no greater blessing than a family hand that lifts you from a fall; but there is not lower curse than a family hand that strikes you when you're down.

Children are best corrected to the point of their understanding, not to the extent of a parent's frustration.

Arrogance cometh before reality.

The only true failure is failure to try.
