I can teach you things
But I cannot make you learn

I can allow you freedom
But I cannot be responsible for it

I can offer you advice
But I cannot decide for you

I can teach you to share
But I cannot make you unselfish

I can advise you about the facts of life
But I cannot build your reputation

I can tell you about drink and drugs
But I cannot say no for you

I can teach you kindness
But I cannot make you gracious

I can model values for you
But I cannot make you moral

I can teach you respect
But I cannot make you honourable

I can give you love
But I cannot make you beautiful inside

I can give you life
But I cannot live it for you
