~Teach him to laugh when he is sad. ~Teach him that there is no shame in tears.
~Try to give him the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon.

~Teach him to close his ears on a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.
~Teach him gently but do not cuddle him, because only the taste of fire makes fine steel.
~Teach him to have courage and be patient, let him have patience and be brave.
~Teach him always to have sublime faith im his creator and faith in himself too, because there he will always have faith in mankind."
