"The mother's heart is the child's classroom." Henry Ward Beecher

She who kills time injures eternity.

Take time to think - it is the source of power.
Take time to play - it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read - it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to pray - it is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to love and be loved - it is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly - it is the road to happiness.
Take time to laugh - it is the music of the soul.
Take time to give - it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work - it is the price of success.
