    The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
    —Denis Waitly. Quoted in The Winning Family, ch. 25, by Louise Hart (1987)

    It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
