“What is success, after all, but doing what you really want to do?”
― Ruth Minshull, Miracles for Breakfast: A Startling New Approach to Raising Children

“If your child is constantly interrupting or doing other things to get your attention, he is not getting enough communication of the right kind. Just the fact that you are in the house with him all day does not mean that you are necessarily devoting any time to communication of his choice.”
― Ruth Minshull, Miracles for Breakfast: A Startling New Approach to Raising Children

Dan Buettner
“I used to be very beautiful,” Kamada replied. “I had hair that came down to my waist. It took me a long time to realize that beauty is within. It comes from not worrying so much about your own problems. Sometimes you can best take care of yourself by taking care of others.”
― Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: 9 Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest

John C. Holt
“We ask children to do for most of a day what few adults are able to do for even an hour. How many of us, attending, say, a lecture that doesn’t interest us, can keep our minds from wandering? Hardly any.”
― John Holt, How Children Fail
