Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.  

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

He that raises a large family, does indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand…a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.
