Results, Strangers, Adventure

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.
~ Thomas A. Edison

If you came and you found a strange man ... teaching your kids to punch each other, or trying to sell them all kinds of products, you'd kick him right out of the house, but here you are; you come in and the TV is on, and you don't think twice about it.
~ Professor Jerome Singer, Yale University

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.

Enemies, Others, Fun

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
~ African Proverb

Those who spend their time worrying about what people think of them wouldn't worry if they knew how rarely other people think of them.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do--such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening-are also the best for child development.
