These are quotes of mine from my columns, radio show, book, and life. Use them however you wish as long as you please give attribution to the source, “by Bruce Sallan” (or, “Quote by Bruce Sallan”). I hope they inspire you and those you share them with.
- The only thing I control is what I eat for breakfast.
- There is NO such thing as “Quality Time.” There is ONLY “Quantity Time.”
- Your kids are not YOU, regardless of sharing your DNA or raising them.
- Stop worrying about being your child’s best friend and instead worry about being their best parent.
- Women need men just as much as men need women.
- When you give, you ALWAYS get.
- The ONLY thing good about getting older is getting better (at relationships).
- Since you are not perfect, don’t expect anyone else to be.
- There is NO excuse not to have a regular family dinner.
- Don’t live your life vicariously through your kids.
- Stick with your rules, don’t feel sorry for your kids, and don’t let them manipulate you. Rules are rules. Otherwise, they know you’re not serious and won’t take you seriously.
- Raising kids takes a lot of luck. Sometimes it just isn’t your fault.
- Marriage is work, but it’s worth it.
- Life: wait a minute and it will change…the good and the bad.
- A positive attitude is like a magnet.
- Good marriages are a lot more like, “Let’s Make a Deal!”
- There are no perfect friends.
- We give in to our children’s whims and complaints too easily. Sometimes, we as parents need to take care of our own needs.
- Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?
Support your kid’s passions rather than your own.
(For Men): If you do not have men friends that you can really talk to about your life, then get out there and find them.
Life’s not fair; get used to it!
The only thing you can do as the parent of a teenager is try and keep them alive.
