Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.

Edna Buchanan

There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They have the gift of kindness or courage or loyalty or integrity. It really matters very little whether they are behind the wheel of a truck or running a business or bringing up a family. They teach the truth by living it.

James A. Garfield, 1831-1881

Twentieth President of the United States

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

Quotes  Books     

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.

Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.

That is my experience.

No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.

If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and Peace Activist

Quotes  Books  Peace Is Every Step   

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones.

Anwar Sadat

Former Egyptian President

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

Richard Bach
