Being a husband is a whole time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.
The moment you're born you're done for.
I ought to reflect again and again, and yet again, that the beings that I have to steer are just as inevitable in the scheme of evolution as I am myself; have just as much right to be themselves as I am entitled to; and they all deserve from me as much sympathy as I give to myself.
