'Dare to Discipline' was published in 1970 in the midst of the Vietnam War and a culture of rebellion. The book was written in that context, but the principles of child rearing have not changed.

Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.

There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.

If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.

Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.

The footsteps a child follows are most likely to be the ones his parents thought they covered up.

Can't you see the Creator of the universe, who understands every secret, every mystery, sitting patiently and listening to a four-year-old talk to Him? That's a beautiful image of a father.

One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others, smile at them, and be a friend to the friendless.

Those who control what young people are taught, and what they experience - what they see, hear, think, and believe - will determine the future course for the nation.

The Lord doesn't always remove the sources of stress in our lives...but He's always there and cares for us. We can feel His arms around us on the darkest night.

My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong.

One is never too young for fine literature . . .

Let us remember that the automatic machine is the precise economic equivalent of slave labor. Any labor which competes with slave labor must accept the economic consequences of slave labor.

What we do belongs to what we are and what we are is what becomes of us.

Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another's might.

I don't need love or a man to complete me,and someday, you'll find that true for yourself. Suitors will come and go, but you will remain.

I'm living the best life that I could ever be living.

-Most people would say that she's beautiful. -That's because she's been with most people.

The whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.

Life is messy, and it's okay if you are too! We all screw up, that doesn't have to define us.

Sand. Everywhere. In the bed, in the shower, all over the floor. Grrrrr.
