They should be considerate not to irritate by vexatious commands or place unreasonable blame. Whenever possible they should give encouragement rather than remonstrance or reproof.”
“Whenever we have excess, giving should be our natural response. It should be the automatic decision, the obvious thing to do in light of Scripture and human need.”
“Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids; parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns. ”
“Parents who wish to train up their children in the way they should go must go in the way in which they would have their children go.”
“Philosophers should be offered condolences rather than encouragement.”
“Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath.”
