Summary

This quote suggests that a single father can effectively take care of and guide a large number of sons.

It emphasizes the authority and influence of a father figure in a family, suggesting that a father's guidance and leadership are crucial for maintaining order and harmony. The quote underscores the importance of a balanced power dynamic within a family structure.
