A quote from General Douglas MacArthur about seeing his children as a blessing, and not a burden:

“By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that, but I am prouder—infinitely prouder—to be a father. A soldier destroys, a father builds. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life.

“It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battlefield, but in the home, repeating with him our simple daily prayers.” (Borrowed from The Kennedy Commentary by Dr. D. James Kennedy)
