"The habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; and it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children that you should break this habit.
It is more important to them, because they have longer to live and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it; easier than they can get out after they are in."
Letter to John D. Johnson, his stepbrother, Dec.24, 1848
