Quotes to ponder:
"The first and most important thing is that a person sounds a whole lot smarter and more intelligent when you agree with what the person is saying."
"Most people (and especially children) will follow your example rather than your suggestions."
"If you want your spouse to adopt some change, another thing to try is to find something they are familiar with."
