“The best way to teach a child is live an exemplary life.”

“We are God's chosen people. We are God's treasured possession. Let us rise in mighty strength to possess our rightful places as God's children.”

“Because we are human we have a long childhood, and one of the jobs of that childhood is to sculpt our brains. We have years--about twelve of them--to draw outlines of the shape we want our sculpted brain to take. Some of the parts must be sculpted at critical times. One cannot, after all, carve out toes unless he knows where the foot will go. We need tools to do some of the fine work. The tools are our childhood experiences. And I'm convinced that one of those experiences must be children's books. And they must be experienced within the early years of our long childhood.”

“The circumstances surrounding your birth are not as important as the opportunity to live life.”

“The little group rested on the bank of a river. Calm reigned, only disturbed by the snores of Gwizdo, who was fast asleep next to Hector. The two were lying on the bank. Nearby, sitting side by side under a tree, Lian-Chu and the moustached man were engaged in discussion.”

“Gwizdo took out some gold coins from a purse which he held out in his hand, then handed them to Zoria. "Yes, well, it's fine being yourself, but being yourself and poor is no fun. So, here is your share." Hector and Lian-Chu exchanged a stunned look. It's not every day Gwizdo had this kind of generosity! "But Gwizdo", protested the young girl, "I already told you that I was leaving everything to you." "No", corrected Gwizdo, "It wasn't you who told us that, it was the big guy with the enormous moustache.”

“Is all that to celebrate our return?", asked Gwizdo, puzzled. "The day I celebrate you will be your departure", responded Jeanneline sarcastically. "No, it's for Zoria. She's coming to visit." Lian-Chu's face lit up when he heard the name of the young girl, who he himself had trained in the profession and liked very much. Gwizdo's face, however, winced in an angry grin. "Zoria?!? Are you nuts, Jeanneline? Why not invite all the other competition while you're at it? No, but it's true!" Jeanneline scowled and fixed her gaze on Gwizdo. "I'll have you know that Zoria is my daughter and that she is also Zaza's older sister. And first of all, if my Zoria became a dragon hunter, you only have yourselves to blame.”

“There, in the warmth of the sun, the protection of the woods, and with the lake as my constant companion, I was free to be my true self. In this place, grades and appearances were not measured, and love was not conditional. I was unshackled from the expectations of others, my spirit as light as the breeze off the lake. I became the golden girl reborn.”

“When we reached The Point, we would first feel the slimy, rough rock below our bellies, as if being lifted on the back of a whale. We would pull ourselves along the rock’s massive underwater surface, careful to not graze our hands or knees, then climb up above the water, standing tall beside the tower of rocks. We spent the rest of our time sliding down its slippery backside, over and over again—our own natural playground.”

“Late afternoons were for resting in the hammock that hung between the Three Sisters, my favourite trio of birch trees, a book resting on my chest. Other days, I would follow my imagination around our property, my bare feet sinking into pillows of soft moss and rough lichens as I climbed up rock faces or followed a path of fallen pine needles. I would name each plant and tree around me as I filled my pockets with acorns, my soles hardened by the end of the summer.”

Upright and Prideful Key Text, (Matthew 18:3), “And (Jesus) said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

“Attractiveness shines from inside you, outwards. (It’s not about what you look like.) When you’re happy kind and loving, you’re BEAUTY FULL like SUNSHINE! Your glow warms everyone you meet. But, when you’re angry, mean, whingy, sulky or rude you become CLOUDY. And your cold, murky fog drives people away. Behind every cloud, the sun shines. It’s up to you to push your clouds away”
