All women dote upon an idle man
Although their children need a rich estate.
No man has ever lived that had enough
Of children's gratitude or woman's love. (William Butler Yeats)

All women dote upon an idle man Although their children need a rich estate. No man has ever lived that had enough Of children's gratitude or woman's love.

Ernest Hemingway

Children were meant to be gifts. The physical manifestation of love between a man and a woman. And for that love all manner of sacrifice could be borne.
