title: On bringing up children.
abstract: Parents should strive for two objectives in bringing up children: that their children should be happy and brought up prepared to face and deal with adult life. Happiness requires love, which is incomplete without respect, and much respect derives from discipline. For adulthood children need to be taught self-control, have a sense of responsibility and service, and recognize that you can't go through life doing just what you like.
