The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.

A child needs both to be hugged and unhugged. The hug lets her know she is valuable. The unhug lets her know that she is viable. If you're always shoving your child away, they will cling to you for love. If you're always holding them closer, they will cling to you for fear.
-- Polly Berrien Berends -
The greatest treasure you can leave your children is a sense of modesty and the advice to follow virtuous persons.
