(Sheldon and I in collaboration. I think I heard it from Sharon Stone first, though.)

And what were you and Sharon doing at the time?

The best inheritance a parent can give to his children is a few minutes of their time each day. -- M. Grundler

Not a quote, exactly, but pertinent nonetheless:

Quote:

Whenever I have to tell my daughter I'm too busy to play, she runs to her room and whips out her drawing paper and crayons. A few minutes later she has a gift ready for me. It reads:

Gift Certifikit
No Work. A whole day of play with me.

If I begin redeeming my gift certificates, I wouldn't need to work for the next week and a half. But that shows the best gifts often don't cost a thing, except time.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there -- lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more. -- Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)

I like this one bigger.

There is no light without the sun and since light comes from the sun, it can be returned to it. Darkness can be returned to the wanning moon, clearness to open doors and windows, obstruction to walls and houses, confused externals to unconsciousness and clear perception to the awakened state. Nothing in the world goes beyond these conditions. But when the essence of your Perception confronts these states, where can it be returned to?
-Buddha
