~ What's going on here is a redefinition of Christmas as a time of family celebration rather than as a time of the community faithful celebrating the birth of the savior...There is a risk that we will lose one more of our Christian rituals, one that's at the heart of our faith. ~  ~ Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires ~ ~ A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree. ~ ~ I think history is inextricably linked to identity. If you don't know your history, if you don't know your family, who are you? ~ ~ Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. ~ ~ A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there's a secure family atmosphere ~ ~ Alcoholism isn't a spectator sport. Eventually the whole family gets to play. ~ ~ So, I think that’s the centerpiece of morality: Don’t lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is. You know, it’s easy to say, “I’ll never tell a lie.” But if you say, “I’m going to speak the truth,” you’re going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think that’s another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly. ~ ~ In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony ~ ~ No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished ~ ~ While I am proud of a number of accomplishments, there are real costs to being unreasonable. Long hours. Too little time with family. A near incapacity for, as they say, stopping and smelling the roses ~ ~ There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball. The only problem - once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit ~ |
