About this Quote
This quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. is a reminder that the care we give to our kids, marriages, and flower gardens will be shown in the outcome. It is necessary to support and look after these things in order to get the best outcomes. Kids require love, attention, and guidance in order to grow into healthy, successful grownups. Marital relationships require communication, understanding, and compromise in order to stay strong and healthy. Flower gardens need to be watered, weeded, and fertilized in order to prosper and produce beautiful flowers. The care we give to these things will be shown in the outcomes. If we give them the attention and care they need, we will be rewarded with healthy children, strong marriages, and lovely flower gardens.
"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"
