“Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.”

Remember to live.

We all of us live upon the past, and through the past we are destroyed.

One never goes so far as when one doesn’t know where one is going.

There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste.

A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.

On top of the world, or in the depths of despair.

One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days.

By seeking and blundering we learn.

He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

I laugh at my heart, and do its will.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

All that is transitory is but a metaphor.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

I have always been the kid who’s asked ‘Why?’ In my faith, you’re just supposed to have faith. But I was always like, why?

Above all, except the wife and children, I want to see my books.

All Children Have Brain Damage!

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for she was born in another time.

There’s no such thing as a tough child – if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender.

I was an only child so, at home, I’m turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.

I like children. If they’re properly cooked.
