All right, what's up, guys? Welcome back to Five Minute Fatherhood. So we love to look at quotes

0:15.6

that give us wisdom about how to raise our families. And there's a famous one by William Blake

0:20.8

that I heard recently that I wanted your take on, Jeff, but it really reminded me of one of the
