The only moral lesson which is suited for a child, the most important lesson for every time of life, is this: Never hurt anybody.
Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
