Confucius

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.

My central claim is that we become like Christ by doing one thing-by following Him in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. If we have faith in Christ, we must believe that He knew how to live. We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities He engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities He Himself practiced in order to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of the Father.

Perhaps he finds beauty saddening — I do myself sometimes.

Then he said I was probably too young to understand him; but I understood perfectly.
