Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
A woman should never underestimate the power of the child in the man. Sometimes the child seems to be in the driver's seat at the very moment when all a man's adult judgment and insight is needed.
If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
