    When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.
    Erma Brombeck (20th century)

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life is fountain of joy; but where the rabble also gather to drink, all wells are poisoned.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
