Children Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“What is a legacy to a child? Is it about the money or property you leave to them? Is it all about how many kids you can leave behind that bares your last name? No, money, property, or name recognition is worthless if its not backed up by what you do today. If you are only a uncle, aunt, or godparent, then be the best damn uncle, aunt, or godparent you can be for the footprint you will leave is much bigger than just having a last name connected to ten pounds of sad in a five pound bag.”
