Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life, Flower, Tree, Live, Maturity, Seed

My daughter is the biggest gift; I've said it so many times and it sounds like a cliche, but the thing about being a parent is when you think you've cracked it, and you're on top of your game, they change again and you have to catch up and adjust. I feel such a responsibility to instill good values in her, to be polite, to have discipline. Geri Halliwell

Change, Daughter, Responsibility, Good

Family, Teacher, Caring, Child, Friend

I'm not a parenting expert. In fact, I'm not sure that I even believe in the idea of 'parenting experts.' I'm an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I'm an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure. Brene Brown

Adventure, Parenting, Believe, You, Like

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing. Jennifer Aniston

Family, Friendship, Good, Friend, People

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired. Robert Baden-Powell

Faith, God, Day, Good, Thought, Belief

Mental health is an area where people are embarrassed.

Anna Wintour

Failure, Health, Child, Good, People
