“Being a parent is unlike any previous job—the results of any one action are not clearly visible for a long time, if at all.”
—Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 2 (1981)

Consequence of good and evil can be shown
And as in time results of many deeds are blended
So good and evil in the end become confounded.”
