Parenting Through Divorce -- by Janice G. Tracht, MSW

The art of living is the hightest calling of all.  If we start seeing our life as a work of art-in progress, we will find that our attitude toward our life will change. 
- Alexandra Stoddard

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matter compared to what lies within us.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Things themselves don’t hurt or hinder us. Nor do other people. How we view these things is another matter. It is our attitudes and reactions that gives us the trouble.
- Epictetus

Out of our difficulties grow miracles.
- LaBruyere

There are two big forces at work, external and internal. WE have very little control over external forces such as tornados, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over than I have complete control.
- Leo Buscalglia

Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
- William James
