My days have taught me experience has made me…
My days have taught me experience has made me wise time has been my reproof.
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
Let me leave you, then, the way the fathers of our people have always left their children — not with property, but with a charge, the kind of ethical will that is really just a father's voice trying to keep speaking to his children after he is gone. My days have taught me their hard lessons, and time itself has been my reproof; take, then, a father's admonition, offered from a heart that loves you — for who will ever be as tender to you, or teach you out of as much goodwill, as the one who raised you? So, my children: fear the God of your fathers and serve Him. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
