Parenting is the greatest pay it forward system on earth. We don't owe our parents anything. We owe our children everything. The same was true for our parents. The same will be true for our children.

The goal was never dependent on the route that took me there. It was always dependent on the heart that got me through whatever route opened itself up to my efforts.

Sometimes to be a good parent... You have to laugh when you want to be angry. You have to be angry when you want to laugh. And that is why good parenting is tough.

If bullies actually believe that somebody loves them and believes in them, they will love themselves, they will become better people, and many will even become saviors to the bullied.

A lot of people don't like me. I take that as evidence that I have done something beautifully different or something extraordinary.

People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.

Children are gifts. They are not ours for the breaking. They are ours for the making.

Saturday mornings, I’ve learned, are a great opportunity for kids to sneak into your bed, fall back asleep, and kick you in the face.

It’s time we stand up and demand more of the fathers of this world. It’s time we stop buying into their rationalizations and their sorry explanations. It’s time we give our kids a fighting chance.

Fishing is much less about the fishing, and much more about the time alone with your kid, away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

If you want to change the world, first change yourself, then tell others how you did it. Never demand that people change. Inspire them to change using your own change as an example instead.

For that (the rapt one warns) is what papyr is meed of, made of, hides and hints and misses in prints.

I am on pilgrim to self-realisation.

I loved moustaches. I used to draw myself with one. When I was 14, I was really into war and Van Gogh.

I think once you're past 30 you shouldn't wear a lot of glitter.

I'm on this road for the rest of my life.

There's really no pain in the realm of the higher astral. A lot of spirits are playing mini-golf having a good time.

I feel very fortunate to be healthy, so I try to take advantage of it.

I love you, and beneath all that logic, calculation, and superstition, I know you love me too.

I was the youngest of nine siblings... I lost my father when I was just 13. For me, the elders have been my gods.

It is one of my rules in life, never to notice what I don't understand.
