Only by keeping oneself in constant process of growth, under the constant influence of the best things in one's own age, does one become a companion halfway good enough for one's children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The child inside of you knows how to take things as they come, how to deal most effectively and happily with everything and everyone it encounters on this planet. If you can recapture that childlike essence of your being, you can stay 'forever young at heart.'
Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.
My husband and I believe that if you treat a child well and nurture his talent and physical ability, in a healthy environment, the child will succeed no matter what.
One can remain eternally young if, each day, one grows rich by marvelous moments.
I think a common misperception about attuning and tending to a child's needs so constantly is that they don't grow in their independence, but I think that the opposite is true.
With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.
When we are away from home, our only constant companion is our self.
Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
You have to support your children to have a healthy relationship.
When you have a lot of solitude, any living thing becomes a companion.
