Quotes about change:
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
Quotes for: reality
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion.
The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.
Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.
