Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

Having a child is like getting a tattoo… on your face. You better be committed.

We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.

When a man dies, if he can pass enthusiasm along to his children, he has left them an estate of incalculable value.

Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

Too much love never spoils children. Children become spoiled when we substitute presents for presence.

If your children fear you, they cannot trust you. If they don’t trust you, they cannot learn from you.

Having a baby is a life-changer. It gives you a whole other perspective on why you wake up every day.

Encourage and support your kids because children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

When you fast and pray you are breaking through into the glory realm at an accelerated pace.
