• Las raíces de la capacidad de un niño para salir adelante y prosperar, independientemente de las circunstancias, residen en que ese niño haya tenido al menos un lugar pequeño y seguro (¿un apartamento? ¿una habitación? ¿un regazo?) en el que, en compañía de una persona cariñosa, ese niño pudo descubrir que era adorable y capaz de corresponder al amor. Si un niño descubre esto durante sus primeros años de vida, puede crecer y convertirse en una persona competente y sana.

• There are a lot of things that make players really good coaches. Whether you've played in the NBA or not, there are certain things you have to master and be really good at. They just have to be gifted in these areas. You've got to be competent. Secondly, you've got to be able to communicate. You can have a picture in your mind on how to score but if you can't communicate it, if you can't teach it, what good is it? You've got to be brutally honest and be a man of strong character and then you've got to have class. They've got to respect you.

• Al supervisar de cerca a nuestros bebés, al permitirles hacer lo que son capaces de hacer, al abstenernos de rescatarles con demasiada frecuencia, al esperar y esperar y esperar, al prestarles una ayuda mínima cuando realmente la necesitan, permitimos que nuestros bebés aprendan y crezcan a su propio tiempo y a su propia manera. Creo que, por mucho y rápido que cambie el mundo, una persona bien cimentada, competente y segura de sí misma es la mejor preparada para adaptarse a él. Este es nuestro objetivo.
