“Experience cannot be transferred. We may give wise advice, but we cannot give wisdom to follow it.”

“Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children’s learning—to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline—an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside.

—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
