[Quote No.18112] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[Poem:]
'If'
If you can keep your head when all about you,
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
And make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or be lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or be hated, and not take to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master;
If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim.
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools.
If you can make one heap of all your winning,
And risk it on one turn of pitch - and - toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing left you,
Except the Will which says to them:'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and not lose your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
With sixty seconds worth of distance to run,
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son.
" - Rudyard Kipling

[Quote No.18171] Need Area: Friends > Children
"I know no better augury of a young man's future than true filial devotion. Very rarely does one go morally wrong, whose passionate love to his mother is a ruling force in his life, and whose continual desire is to gladden her heart...I do not remember a single instance of a young fellow going bad, who was tenderly devoted to his parents." - John Thain Davidson

"There are no perfect parents! What's important is that you keep moving in the direction of good parenting. If you remain honest about where you are, your children's trust in you will increase. They care about truth, not perfection, and it is an impossible job for a human to play God. Yet, many parents saddle themselves with this terrible responsibility." - Virginia Mildred Satir

[Quote No.18788] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[Poem about the gift of time:]
What shall I give to one small boy?
A glamorous game, a tinseled toy,
A barlow knife, a puzzle pack,
A train that runs on a curving track?
A picture book, a real live pet...
No, there's plenty of time for such things yet.
Give him a day for his very own -
Just one small boy and his Dad alone.
A walk in the woods, a romp in the park,
A fishing trip from dawn to dark,
Give the gift that only you can -
The companionship of his Old Man.
Games are outgrown, and toys decay,
But he'll never forget if you Give him a day'.

"Property left to a child may soon be lost; but the inheritance of virtue, a good name, an unblemished reputation will abide forever.

The largest property may be wrested from a child, but virtue will stand by him to the last." - Unknown
