A Quote by Marquise Magdeleine de Sablé on fatherhood, good, sons, and virtue
The ties of virtue ought to be closer than the ties of blood, since the good man is closer to another good man by their similarity of morals than the son is to his father by their similarity of face.
Magdeleine Sable
(c. 1599 - 1678)
