PARENTING
There are so many disciplines in being a parent besides the obvious ones like getting up in the night and putting up with the noise during the day. And almost the hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection and not a fountain, to show them we love them, not when we feel like it, but when they do.

Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow.

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.
