EDUCATION
Ask not for an easy life...ask for the strength to face the elements, to weather the storms; to be the might for the right and the weak, to be the voice for those who cannot speak, to see one's dreams to fruition with dignity, integrity, and grace. #<Author:0x00007f8dcffb6238>

Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting. #<Author:0x00007f8dcffd3ec8>

HUMILITY
The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around... Throughout history, tender loving care has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. #<Author:0x00007f8dc4054408>
HEALTH
Gratitude is the beginning of civility, of decency and goodness, of a recognition that we cannot afford to be arrogant. We should walk with the knowledge that we will need help every step of the way. #<Author:0x00007f8dc406d818>
CIVILITY
There is no such thing as a perfect parent so just be a real one. #<Author:0x00007f8dc408e770>
PARENTING
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. #<Author:0x00007f8dc40a6c30>
COURTESY
It takes each of us to make a difference for all of us. #<Author:0x00007f8dc40c62d8>

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. #<Author:0x00007f8dc40e7c08>
COMPASSION
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them. #<Author:0x00007f8dc410b5e0>
OVERCOMING
If you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. #<Author:0x00007f8dc41226f0>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. #<Author:0x00007f8dc4166df0>
