Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.

Although my parents have never been the kind to hint around about grandchildren, I can think of no better tribute to them than giving them some....

And I can think of no better comfort when they are gone than to know that something of them lives on, not only in me but in my children.

Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion.
One of the greatest things you can do to help others is not just to share and give what you have, but to help them discover what they have within themselves to help themselves.

I had two passions when I was a child. First was to learn about Einstein's theory and help to complete his dream of a unified theory of everything. That's my day job.
