"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings"
- Hodding Carter
About this Quote
This quote by Hodding Carter speaks to the value of providing our kids with a strong foundation and the ability to soar. By offering our children roots, we are providing them with a sense of identity, security, and stability. We are teaching them the worths and beliefs that will direct them throughout their lives. On the other hand, by providing wings, we are motivating them to check out, take dangers, and grab their dreams. We are teaching them to be independent and to believe on their own. We are providing the confidence to handle the world and to make their own paths. Eventually, these two bequests will help our children to become successful, satisfied, and delighted adults.
