People with real talent pay no attention to people who question their dreams. When they fail, they pick themselves up and start chasing the dream again. They understand that they will be happy chasing their dreams even if they don’t achieve them, because a person who is chasing a dream is a person who is excited, vital and alive.

Loving Your Child

My kids are in their late 40s now. Recently I grabbed my oldest son Billy and told him, “I love you. I think you’re terrific, and I’m so proud you’re mine.” His eyes filled with tears and he said, “Thanks, I really needed that, Dad.”

One of the great legacies my father left us, as well as countless friends and neighbors, was never failing to say “I love you” each day to every member of his family. His example even now touches many others as I’m told by them time and again how watching him with his family motivated them to be more open and tender about expressing love for their families.

To love is to find pleasure in the happiness of the person loved.
— Gottfried Leibniz

— Ron Palmer

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
— Thomas Merton

To love is to give one’s time. We never give the impression that we care when we are in a hurry.
— Paul Tournier

Loving means devoting yourself to people, but not to changing them. When I devote myself to the people in my life all our lives improve. While I am telling them how to meet my expectations, no one is happy. As soon as I accept them as they are and start caring about them and trying to make their lives easier, everyone is happier and wonderful things start happening.
— Dr. Bernie Siegel

To devote a portion of one’s leisure to doing something for someone else is one of the highest forms of recreation.
— Gerald Fitzgerald

To give help when it is asked for is friendship. To give appropriate help before it is asked for is love.
— Dr. Theodore Rubin

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
— St. Francis of Assisi
