I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

Life is brief and to have to spend every day of it doing what somebody else wants you to do is not the way to live it.

To the counsell of fooles a woodden bell.

A natural parent has only two things principally to consider, the improvement of his son, and the finances to do it with.

So long as you are learning, you are not growing old.

Understanding is often a prelude to forgiveness, but they are not the same, and we often forgive what we cannot understand (seeing nothing else to do) and understand what we cannot pardon.
