“Hitting is never the best way to teach a child. Even in the case of real danger - as when a child runs out into the road - you can grab him, sit him down, look him in the eyes, and tell him why he must never do that again. The panic in your voice will communicate your message much more effectively than any spanking. You can be dramatic without being abusive.”
― Peggy O'Mara

“I had not been able to show, by finite things, because My love was infinite, how much more love I had, I wished you to see the secret of the Heart,”
― Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena

“Before you take anything away you must have something better to put in its place.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.”
