Laura Schlessinger’s quotes:

Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship.

The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am; they reveal who I am.

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
