Quote from Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

The worst thing in life is having parents that always stand against you and never with you. They discourage you, instill fear in you, hold you back, push you down and never encourage you to fly forward. When I have kids, they’ll already be born with propellers with added wings. Even if one tells me they want to go learn how to ride lions in Africa, if their heart is driving that desire, I’d say “DO IT”.If we throw blankets over our children’s dreams, we darken their world and extinguish their desire to live. I’d rather my kid die with a wild fire in his/her heart than with a malfunctioning or drained out fuse. Always allow your kids to keep humming with dreams and ideas that fuel their passions. Never tell them something is impossible. If you have a really strong determined kid, they’ll go out there killing themselves trying to do the unachievable just to prove you wrong. And if you have a weak kid, they’ll give up on life and settle for bagging Cokes and potato chips at your local grocery store.

Quote from Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God – or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil?

Quote from Elizabeth Goudge

The very old and the very young have something in common that makes it right that they should be left alone together. Dawn and sunset see stars shining in a blue sky; but morning and midday and afternoon do not, poor things.

The Newbie's Guide to Positive Parenting

Quote from Rebecca Eanes, The Newbie’s Guide to Positive Parenting

When you’ve had one call after another and your little one is tugging on your shirt, remember what really matters. When the milk is splattered all over the floor and those little eyes are looking at you for your reaction, remember what really matters. It takes 5 minutes to clean up spilled milk; it takes much longer to clean up a broken spirit.

The Use and Misuse of Children

Quote from Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children

Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.

Ô, Muse of the Heart’s Passion,let me relive my Love’s memory,to remember her body, so brave and so free,and the sound of my Dreameress singing to me,and the scent of my Dreameress sleeping by me,Ô, sing, sweet Muse, my soliloquy!

Children and dogs are the messengers of God some of us do not deserve them

Children are the closest we have to wisdom, and they become adults the moment that final drop of everything mysterious is strained from them.

The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents

Quote from William Martin, The Parent’s Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents

Do not ask your childrento strive for extraordinary lives.Such striving may seem admirable,but it is the way of foolishness.Help them instead to find the wonderand the marvel of an ordinary life.Show them the joy of tastingtomatoes, apples and pears.Show them how to crywhen pets and people die.Show them the infinite pleasurein the touch of a hand.And make the ordinary come alive for them.The extraordinary will take care of itself.
