No one can prevent my child from seeing God.

Never ignore the entreaties, and complaints of your children; they have an uncanny way of reading your mind and knowing your feelings. Trust your heart more than your brain.

Music is the best stimulant for your creative faculties, both above the neck and below the belt.

Take good care of your parents while they are still within your reach; it is from them that your journey started.
