On Legacy

Battiscombe Gunn, 1906

If a son accepts what his father says, no project of his will go wrong. Instruct thy son in the way of righteousness; his good conduct shall be thy reward. He who has been guided by his father, his deeds shall endure on earth; his name shall not be forgotten; his memory shall be great among the living.
