It is my wish that you may have at better and freer life than I have had. Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience; this was what upheld me in time of misery.

Recommend to your children to be virtuous, only the virtue can bring us happiness, not the money.

Of all my children, this is the one that cost me the worst birth-pangs and brought me the most sorrow; and for that reason it is the one most dear to me.

I know of no more sacred duty than to rear and educate a child.
