Sometimes people are good, and they do just what they should. But the very same people who are good sometimes are the very same people who are bad sometimes. It's funny but it's true. Its the same isn't it, for me and . . .

Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.

Honesty is often very hard. The truth is often painful. But the freedom it can bring is worth the trying.
Fred Rogers
Image
It is our continuing love for our children that makes us want them to become all they can be, and their continuing love for us that helps them accept healthy discipline--from us and eventually from themselves.

There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.

Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're equally infinite. Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given.
