Life Doesn’t Come With A Manual. It Comes With A Mother

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.

“Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.”

“Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home.”

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

“Don’t worry about those who talk behind your back, they are behind you for a reason.”

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.

“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”

Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness

“Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words.”

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”

Your child needs your presence more than your presents. – Jesse Jackson
