The first duty to children is to make them happy. If you have not made them so, you have wronged them. No other good they may get can make up for that.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor.
You must never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.

You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
