I was trying to find a picture to head a previous entry but alas, I was distracted by mere words...
My favorite of TLC's Shmuleyisms:
"The Garden of Eden was not a place in space, but a place in time. It represents our childhood years, when everything is magical and perfect. Eviction from Eden represents growing up, the natural tendency to be bitten by the hardships and disappointments of life, to calcify and coarsen. The restoration to Eden takes place when we have children, who reintroduce all the lost Eden-like qualities of childhood into our lives."
"Most of us promise ourselves that we will never make the same mistakes as our parents, yet we grow up and almost by osmosis, we start becoming them. We end up transmitting to our children the same imperfections that our parents transmitted to us. It’s a never-ending cycle. And there comes a time in the generational life of a family that one generation has to say, 'Enough, I will be healed so that my children will heal.' Let that generation be us."
"There are no bad children. Only bad parents. When our kids act up, it’s time to look in the mirror."
"Parents need their children far more than children need their parents."
"You are not a hero to the world unless you are first and foremost a hero to your children."
"Have you really been successful if the people who mean the most to you, think the least of you?"
"By being happily married we gift to our children the knowledge that love works, that the world is comprised of pieces of a puzzle that ultimately fit."
"We dare not make money into a commodity by which to purchase self-esteem."
His article Tyranny of the Beautiful People is very eloquent, it's a good read.
...time well spent.
