“But not gold in commercial quantities,
Just enough gold to make the engagement rings
And marriage rings of those who owned the farm.
What gold more innocent could one have asked for?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Our most important task as parents is raising children who will be decent, responsible, and caring people devoted to making this world a more compassionate place”
