“Speak to yourself like you would a child whom you love.”

I am tired in many ways, but hopeful in many more.

Weary hearts can still hold love.

If you decide to plant a seed, commit to watering it.

Get rid of the idea that your healing is tied to someone else’s apology.

Rest now, dear heart, let joy find you unexpected places.

Cold hearts cannot serve warm love.

There is pain here, but there is also power.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

This is not the season to shrink ourselves for anyone.

If peace is a priority, manage what you respond to.

Don’t rob the world of who you are by trying to be someone else.

Find rest in the space between who you are and who you want to be.

I don’t want to be perfect. I want to be free.

Where you are now, is not where you will always be.

Things that don’t work out often pave the way for things that will.

We only stop growing when we resist change.

Even after centuries of human interacting, children still continue to rebel against their parents and siblings.

I cannot wait to see my children grow up and create a brighter future and a better world for all.

A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires

The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.

Time is a game played beautifully by children.

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy. Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.

I’m not going to make movies that tell children, “You should despair and run away”.
