Walk with me now into this very bright night, and revere with me in silence what must be God-given and what is surely God-taken.
I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends.
Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.
It is you who must someday break through the protective polish of who you are, to become naked and powerful to who you can truly be.
The things you don't know or understand are as important as your desire to know them. This is the relationship of man to mystery.
Only you can know the difference between your wants and your needs, and your sacrifice of your life's time to both.
Let my memories of you be like water on the moon. A beautiful impossibility - but allowing me to sleep and dream of infinite beginnings rather than Othello endings.
It’s a heck of a responsibility to look after a spirit. So give kids the best of who you are. That’s the most you can ever do.
I travel because I become uncomfortable being too comfortable.
Take off my clothes and there becomes a man. Take off my skin and there becomes my bones. Break all my bones and there becomes my heart. Smash my heart and there becomes my soul. And that you cannot take.
I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven't seen, how much I'm not going to see, and how much I still need to see.
POLITENESS must carry the true weight of SINCERITY and INTEGRITY for it to be a true act of POLITENESS.
You become a man when you marry not just for love but to be a partner with your wife. To be the best man you can be with her, and when you fall short, to admit your shortcomings and to constantly strive to be a great man to your wife.
Thanksgiving - fall's finale. Best damn holiday of the year in my worldly estimation.
I can FEEL her next to me. This UNION. Of WARMTH. Of CARING. Of the INDESCRIBABLE. As if there were NO PARTING and NEVER could be.
Love your kids and just be there for them. You don't have to eyeball their every moment or to orchestrate all their comings and goings. They know this. They know that's too much. All they want is to be assured that there's a home fire cooking, that t...
Remember, it's still a mystery to be an adult. If you knew it all before eighteen, you'd have nothing to look forward to.
Don’t spoil kids by trying to buy them off, to buy their time. Kids aren’t stupid. They know a bribe when they see one. They want a parent not a payoff.
Remember, Little Ones, everything is not important all the time. Only living is important all the time. Not things. Not money. Not more things and more endless money. Spend well the quality of your time. And yes, be greedy with your hours. If only to...
Don’t have kids until you’re ready. And when you do have them, have them all the way. They aren’t like some Cadillac that you can turn back into the dealership after three years.
Money-it can buy your kids anything, but it cannot teach them love, respect, and the true value of living life without things.
