Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.
Patience has never been my strong suit.
