“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Jesus
“It’s your job to give your children a boost. Affirm them. Tell them that they can be somebody. I remember reading Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s biography. That book provides a clue to Dr. Peale’s success. Dr. Peale had a very strong-willed mother. And she used to say to Norman when he was a little guy, ‘Norman, you can be somebody. Believe it YOU CAN BE SOMEBODY!’” — Robert H. Schuller, founding pastor Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, Calif.
