आप मेरी यह बात मान सकते हैं कि आप चाहे जितनी भी कोशिश कर लें—या न करें; आप कुछ भी करें—या न करें; अच्छे के लिए या बुरे के लिए; अमीर होने पर या गरीब होने पर; हर तरह से और हर दिन: माता-पिता हमेशा गलत ही होते हैं। इसलिए इस बारे में परेशान होने का कोई फायदा नहीं है। जब ये छोटे नादान बड़े होंगे तो वे निश्चित रूप से आपको बिल्कुल साफ-साफ बता देंगे कि उनके मामले में आपने क्या गलती की थी। लेकिन कोई बात नहीं; अपनी बारी आने पर वे खुद भी उतने ही गलत साबित होंगे।

you may take it from me, that however hard you try - or don't try; whatever you do - or don't do; for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; every way and every day: the parent is always wrong. So it is no good bothering about it. When the little pests grow up they will certainly tell you exactly what you did wrong in their case. But never mind; they will be just as wrong themselves in their turn.

अगर आपने कभी कोशिश नहीं की है, तो आप अंदाज़ा भी नहीं लगा सकते कि किसी विश्वकोश (एनसाइक्लोपीडिया) से कोई भी जानकारी ढूँढ़ना कितना मुश्किल होता है, जब तक कि आप उसके बारे में पहले से सब कुछ न जानते हों।
