Quotes from the Legal Papers Seminar

If you are working really hard in order to leave it all to your kids, consider these quotes:

Socrates: "What mean you fellow citizens that you turn every stone to scrape wealth together, but take so little care of your children to whom one day you will relinquish it all." Randy Alcorn has a similar view: "The question is not what is fair (to leave each child), but what is right. The real questions are: will your children need your money, and will they use it wisely? If the answer to the first question (do they need it) is no, then you should not feel compelled to leave it to them. If the answer to the second question (will they use it wisely) is no, you should feel compelled not to leave it to them. If the answers markedly differ from child to child, you should deal differently with them according to those real differences." We should prepare the next generation of God's stewards before we put God’s resources into their hands.
