Re: the quote, I have a similar one from Ayn Rand. Now, searching for it, I came up dry. Will include it in a future comment.

That’s a very sweet poem. It sums up the idea of “unintended consequences,” both the good and the not so good.
Have you ever read the poems of Edgar Guest? He was a columnist for the Detroit Free Press in the first half of the 20th Century. He submitted a poem a day for many years, eventually writing over 11,000 of them. Some of them are a bit sappy, but most celebrate the family, hard work, and patriotism. Two of my favorites are “It Couldn’t Be Done” and “The Mushroom Expert.”
