“Little kids are that way; they feel if their parents aren't watching what they do then what they do isn't real.”

“The true measurement of a person's worth isn't what they say they believe in, but what they do in defense of those beliefs. If you're not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren't real.”

“Love isn't how you feel. It's what you do.”

“Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?”

“There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.”

“Do all kids have to worry about their parents’ mental health? The way society is set up, parents are supposed to be the grown-up ones and look after the kids, but a lot of times it’s the other way around.”

“It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.”

“I pity parents who feel comfortable to feed a thousand chicken but can't feed two kids because one isn't theirs”

“A kid might help another kid who fell into a river, and a kid might help another kid search for a lost baseball, but there isn't a kid I've met who will help another kid out of a humiliating situation. We just aren't built that way.”

“There are no do overs and some things just aren't going to happen. It is a little sad but you just have to embrace what is”
