On Chesterton

A little inspiration:

“Happy is he who not only knows the causes of things, but who has not lost touch with their beginnings.”

"The chief aim of the Christian order is to give room for all good things to run wild."

On Children

"...Good children are an immense luxury, and to deny one's self other luxuries in order to raise them is not self-denial at all, but merely an intelligent choice of investment."

--Edward Sandford Martin (1904)

Saw this quote today and couldn't help but be encouraged and reminded, after a very long month and a not so admirable parenting day, that it is a privilege to work hard at raising my children.
