Our Children Are Extensions Of

Peace Means Far More Than The Opposite Of War.

There's A World Of Difference Between Insisting On Someone's Doing Something And Establishing An Atmosphere In Which That Person Can Grow Into Wanting To Do It.

It Is One Of The Paradoxes Of Parenting, And Often A Painful Paradox, That Even As Our Children Need Us For Love And Trust, They Also Need Us For Honest Differing. It's Not Only Over Limits And Rules...[but Also] About What We Represent In The Way Of Culture, Traditions, And Values. We Owe It To Our Children To Let Them Know What We Believe, And If They Differ With Us, We Owe It To Them To Be Honest Adversaries, For It Is Through This Honest Confrontation That Children Can Grow Into Adults Who Have A Firm Sense Of Their Place In The Sequence Of The Generations.

The Thing I Remember Best About Successful People I've Met All Through The Years Is Their Obvious Delight In What They're Doing And It Seems To Have Very Little To Do With Worldly Success. They Just Love What They're Doing, And They Love It In Front Of Others.

The World Is Not Always A Kind Place. That's Something All Children Learn For Themselves, Whether We Want Them To Or Not, But It's Something They Really Need Our Help To Understand.
