When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.

My temperament is not inclined toward more self-promotion than is absolutely necessary for my professional well-being.

There's a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build. Coach Graham worked in a no-coddling zone. Self-esteem? He knew there was really only one way to teach kids how to develop it: You give them something they can't do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process.

Not fault of teaching spider if little spider pay more attention to catching fly than doing lesson.

You never really know something until you teach it to someone else.

We like the idea of home devotions. They will be more teaching than preaching.
