None of you
can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father
who has not his equal in this world -- so great, so good, so
faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and
don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like
him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to
be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a
great deal.
-- Queen Victoria
1819-1901, Queen of Great
Britain
