Resiliency is the body's internal response to a stressful situation.

A child's attachment process begins within the first year of life...

There is no debating that the effects of trauma experienced in childhood may have grave consequences.

Attachments that are not fostered may lend to the child's inability to properly attach or have no attachment at all.

Perception is a vice with which each person is capable of perceiving his or her reality.

Children who are resilient often have an appearance of a Teflon coating: nothing seems to faze these children.

Secure attachment has been linked to a child's ability to successfully recover and prove resilient in the presence of a traumatic event.

Trauma does not have to occur by abuse alone...

Resiliency is the essence of a global positive framework...

Abuse may consist of physical maltreatment or language that is belittling, discriminatory...

Trauma may be endured through a physiological or psychological threat to life or overall wellbeing.

Transformation, on the other hand, is creating beauty from horror or destruction (or, for beginners, an actually pleasant evening with the usual family problems).

I'd rather have fun, being young and being dumb, than be saved a spot in heaven

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Never read the Bible as if it means something. Or at any rate don't try and mean it. Nor prayers. The liturgy is best treated and read as if it's someone announcing the departure of trains.

To tell a man who has no realization that he is lost, that he may be saved by faith in Christ, means nothing to him, however true and blessed the fact is in itself.

Do not expect to grow in holiness if you spend little time alone with God and do not take His Word seriously.

No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free.
