"A life can truly be considered to have been well spent when one's children are rewarded with the starting impetus to do well. Forget lavishing money and material wealth upon them. Instead safeguard their good health, firmly establish good principles in them, fix their character and build their childhood in the foundation of good breeding, conviction, a love of truth and a desire to seek out justice. In general, dress them well in the 'full outfit' that enables them to fight the battle of life with success. If they can rejoice in coming first, second, third or merely competing in the race, they will never be considered 'a loser' or regarded as 'an also ran' when their lives are finally assessed by those they leave behind." William Forde: September 27th, 2013.
