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.

While parents should always provide shelter from a storm, they should sometimes allow children to play in the rain.

Criticism is a painful pill to swallow, but it always makes you better.

Cherish every season of life; for without coldness, there is no comfort in warmth, and without darker days, there is no joy in light.

Scold your children, and they will know what is wrong; but correct them with love, and they will know what is right.

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

Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.
