For Christians
A wise man once said: “We do not do what is easy; we do what is right.”
~Anonymous
A wise doctor once commented to me: “Parents tend to respond to their children according to their own moods and emotions rather than according to principles and long-term goals. Being an adult means doing what is right regardless of how you feel. It takes maturity and self-control to be a parent. Pursue long-term goals and don’t settle for short-term solutions that will end up with long-term problems.”
~Dr. Steven Smith
