我想，不論是遭遇失敗還是不幸，我們都應該感謝生活。只有這樣，失敗後，我們才能發現自己的缺點和不足，不幸時，我們還能感受到安慰和溫暖。這些就能幫我們找回勇氣，戰勝困難，並獲取前進的強大推動力。我們應像羅斯福總統那樣，換一個角度去看待生活中的失敗和挫折，永遠對生活充滿感恩，才能時刻保持健康的心態，積極地生活，並能保持完美的人格和不斷進取的精神。感恩不僅僅是一種精神慰藉，也不是對現實的規避，更不是阿q的精神勝利法。感恩源於我們對生活的熱愛和希望，它是我們歌頌生活的一種方式。

calvin trillin (1935 - )
my parents only had one argument in forty-five years. it lasted forty-three years.
cathy ladman
by the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
charles wadsworth
the first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.
clarence darrow (1857 - 1938)
if your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
dick cavett (1936 - )

t
he gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.
euripides (484 bc - 406 bc), phrixus
there is…nothing to suggest that mothering cannot be shared by several people.
h. r. schaffer, o magazine, may XX
this is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. otherwise children would be nothing more than pets.
heather armstrong, dooce, 11-15-05
for rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.
