“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.”

“A friendship that like love is warm;
A love like friendship, steady.”

“When a parent denies a child its “parent time,” that parent is denying the child its child support -- its psychological child support.”

“You don't understand,' she said, and there was a puzzling trace of resentment in her voice. 'Children never do. The love a parent has for a child, there's nothing else like it. No other love so consuming.”

“Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”

“The greatest inheritance that a parent can leave to their child is the memory of his love, otherwise the rest has no value.”

“Flowers are lovely; love is flower-like;
Friendship is a sheltering tree”

“When a child is given to his parents, a crown is made for that child in Heaven, and woe to the parents who raise a child without consciousness of that eternal crown!”

“Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day.”

“The more boring a child is, the more the parents, when showing off the child, receive adulation for being good parents — because they have a tame child-creature in their house.”
