obedience, the acceptance of discipline,

learned quickly, and time, which is all
we have, must be paid heavily for their
acquiring. They are the very simplest
things and, because it takes a man's
life to know them, the little new that
each man gets from life is very costly
and the only heritage he has to leave.
