I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy. ↗

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children. ↗

If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example. ↗
