The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden mysterious realm on the contrary it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.

Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.

Look I don't want to wax philosophic but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs you've got to jump around a lot for life is the very opposite of death and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully or you're not alive.

Man always dies before he is fully born.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Truthfully I'm still Corey Hart Dad first.

When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing my dad was a king of the clubs a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.

I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is I'll make less mistakes than my dad my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.

I listened to the radio so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.
