Blessed is the home where each puts

the other's happiness first.

Mothers hold their children's hand for a little while

and their hearts forever.

The most important thing a mother can do to

promote her child's happy future welfare

is modeling a happy, fulfilled person;

somebody who is taking care of her own needs,

who's happy, who's playful, who's creative.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

Saying thank you

(for even the small things)

is a gift worth sharing.

A gift from the heart is priceless.

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

The block of granite which was an obstacle

in the pathway of the weak

becomes a stepping-stone

in the pathway of the strong.

I don't care how poor a family is,

if he's got family, he's rich.

If you want your children to keep their feet on the ground,

put some responsibility on their shoulders.

A parent's love is whole

no matter how many times divided.

When you are folding the laundry,

think of how lucky you are

to have so many clothes.

If you raise your children to feel that they can

accomplish any goal or task they decide upon,

you will have succeeded as a parent

and you will have given your children

the greatest of all blessings.

Being a parent is unlike any previous job,

the results of any one action

are not clearly visible for a long time.

Find your center and grow from there.

When you feel like giving up,

remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

When written in Chinese

the word "crisis" is composed of two characters,

one represents danger

and the other represents opportunity.

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end

may also be only the beginning.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

When everything seems to be going against you,

remember that the airplane takes off against the wind,

not with it.

Anything not attempted remains impossible.

It’s not whether you get knocked down.

It’s whether you get up again.

A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well

under pressure.

You Gotta Believe!
