Quotes I Like

 

   The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude to me, is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than facts.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break a company...a church...a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace that day.  We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.  And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.
 

 
   BE A MODEL.  Perhaps the most important element of moral training in a child's life is the example parents set themselves.  You have to walk it like you talk it.  Children cannot learn about honesty if they see their parents lie or cheat.  A brother will not treat his sister with respect if the father does not treat the mother with respect.  A teen will not speak civilly if he has grown up listening to his parents swearing.  For children to take morality seriously, they must witness adults taking morality seriously.  - Dr. William Bennett
