“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do.

That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.”

“What matters most in a child's development, they say, is not how much information we can stuff into her brain in the first few years.
