Relationships and Family

Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

Be of love (a little) more careful than of everything.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Kids are always the only future the human race has.

I have found that the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want, and then advise them to do it.

And that’s what parents were created for.

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he’s buying.
