“By the same token, hell is no more easily earned than with respect to one's children. You could do no more disastrous work then to spoil the children, let them curse and swear, let them learn profane words and vulgar songs and just let them do as they please. …. There is no greater tragedy in Christendom than spoiling children. If we want to help Christendom, we most certainly have to start with children, as happened in earlier times.” Martin Luther, A Sermon on the Estate of Marriage, LW, AE, 44:12-13
