Children Learn as They Live

A child that lives with ridicule learns to be timid
A child that lives with criticism learns to condemn
A child that lives with distrust learns to be deceitful
A child that lives with antagonism learns to be hostile
A child that lives with affection learns to love
A child that lives with encouragement learns confidence
A child that lives with truth learns justice
A child that lives with praise learns to appreciate
A child that lives with sharing learns to be considerate
A child that lives with knowledge learns wisdom
A child that lives with patience learns to be tolerant
A child that lives with happiness will find love and beauty.

Life

I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to my fellow creature,
Let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it
For I shall not pass this way again.
