Don't worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.

This present system by which industry is motivated exclusively by the quest for maximal profits - though it may have helped a great deal to develop, to industrialize our country so rapidly and so successfully - now it's clearly passed its usefulness.
