"O LORD, BUILD ME A SON who will be strong enough
to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face
himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and
unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in
victory... Whose wishbone will not be where his backbone
should be; a son who will know Thee, and that to know
himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Lead him,
I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under
the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here,
let him learn compassion for those who fall. Build me a
son whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high;
a son who will master himself before he seeks to master
other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget
how to weep; one who will reach into the future, yet
never forget the past... And after all these things are
his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he
may always be serious, yet never take himself too
seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always
remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind
of true wisdom and the meekness of true strength. Then
I, his father, will dare to whisper, 'I have not
lived in vain.'" - General Douglas MacArthur
