Quotes About Guidance

Computers shouldn't be parents, but they are. Please, spend time with your kids. If you don't want to, then I don't want to.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
