Quote

If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.

Image
Don't always try to be popular. It isn't possible for everyone to like you. It's far more important for you to like yourself. And when you respect yourself, strangely, you get more respect than when you court it from others.

No matter how lovesick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along!

Whatever a man thinks about sex, you can be sure that he thinks about sex almost constantly.
