Every age makes its own guide-books, and the old ones are used for waste paper.Collection: Father

And I took everything he said to heart. He taught me how to write, which was scary and intimidating and hard, but ultimately one of the biggest gifts I could have ever asked for.Collection: Father
Work ethic is one of the biggest things my father taught me. That man worked like every day, every day, 9 to 5, well 9 to 9 in his case, but he would treat it as if it was a 9 to 5 job.

See therefore that you pay and satisfy for them.'Collection: Father
