Failure isn't the end of the world, nor is it a sign that you won't be capable of going on to do other things.

The only way we can ever teach a child to say "I'm sorry" is for him to hear it from our lips first.

How parents interact with each child as he or she enters the family circle determines in great part that child's final destiny.

Women are not for using. Women are for loving.

Life is a pressure cooker and whether you remain serene or become stressed-out depends on how you handle that pressure.

I believe the time we really look big in a child's eyes is when we go to them and apologize for our mistakes and we say, 'I was wrong. Will you forgive me?'

The problem with guilt is that it cements you to the past.

A sexually fulfilled husband will do anything for you.

I believe that love takes time. I believe there is such a thing as infatuation at first sight, but not love at first sight.

Every child lives up to the expectation you have for him.

To live without regrets is impossible. To regret not trying is the worst regret of all.

We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.

Look at things and listen and feel.

I will die like a true-blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning - organize.

I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm & Kwame Brown?

I really really love Christ, but I'm not a Christian.
