He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The care of a wise and good man for his only son is inferior to the regard of the great Parent of the universe for his creatures.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
It is a wise father that knows his own child.
A wise man will live as much within his wit as within his income.
He who obeys God's laws finds him a father. He who disobeys them, finds him a judge.
Dad had great people investing in his life at a young age. His mother, his stepfather, his Boy Scout leader, his football coach. That's where integrity is planted, like seeds that are harvested later.
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
A good father believes that he does wisely to encourage enterprise, productive skill, prudent self-denial, and judicious expenditure on the part of his son.
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.
