The greatest gift that you can give another person is to gracefully receive whatever it is that they want to give us.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.

The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.

Of course, I get angry. Of course, I get sad. I have a full range of emotions. I also have a whole smorgasbord of ways of dealing with my feelings. That is what we should give children. Give them ... ways to express their rage without hurting themselves or somebody else. That's what the world needs.

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.

My hunch is that if we allow ourselves to give who we really are to the children in our care, we will in some way inspire cartwheels in their hearts.

Life is deep and simple, and what our society gives us is shallow and complicated.
