“I have been wrong to hide my temper so completely. All this time I have been inadvertently teaching my girls that goodness is the absence of faults. An unattainable goal that can only lead to a lifetime of discouragement. Effortless virtue is a fairy tale, so far as I can tell. The honor is in the struggle.” — Sarah Miller

I have been wrong to hide my temper so completely. All this time I have been inadvertently teaching my girls that goodness is the absence of faults. An unattainable goal that can only lead to a lifetime of discouragement. Effortless virtue is a fairy tale, so far as I can tell. The honor is in the struggle.
