another person. We may say to our children: Here is art, science,
philosophy, mathematics, music, psychology, history, religion - and we may
open innumerable doors along the corridors of living so that they will have
a broad and even a minute acquaintance with the segments of life; but these
introductions are not as important as knowing people whose characters and
actions, personalities and words have grown after similar introductions
and have become worthy of emulation." | |

condition continuously until death do them part." | |
