Ankle deep into parenting, I am greatly inspired by these quotes that I found in my friend's blog:

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
-Lazarus Long

Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity.
Christian Nevell Bovee
Definition of Felicity:
1. happiness; or rather great happiness; blessedness; blissfulness; the joys of heaven, prosperity
2. blessing; enjoyment of good.

Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
-Wayne Dyer

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
-James Baldwin

"It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he be cast into the depths of the sea than to stumble one of these little ones."
-The Bible, Luke 17:2
