Sayfa 201 - If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone ? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent ? or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion ? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him...
Sayfa 167 - has freedom to do all that he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other...
Sayfa 204 - A little elbow leans upon your knee, Your tired knee that has so much to bear; A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly From underneath a thatch of tangled hair. Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch Of warm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight; You do not prize this blessing overmuch, You almost are too tired to pray to-night. But it is blessedness! A year ago I did not see it as I do to-day, We are so dull and thankless; and too slow To catch the sunshine till it slips away. And now it seems...
Sayfa 204 - I wonder so that mothers ever fret At little children clinging to their gown ; Or that the footprints, when the days are wet, Are ever black enough to make them frown. If I could find a little muddy boot, Or cap or jacket, on my...

Those respects in which a child requires restraint, are just the respects in which he is taking after the aboriginal man. The selfish squabbles of the nursery, the persecution of the playground, the...
Sayfa 192 - He who checks a child with terror, Stops its play, and stills its song, Not alone commits an error, But a great and moral wrong. " Give it play, and never fear it, Active life is no defect ; Never, never break its spirit, Curb it only to direct. " Would you stop the flowing river, Thinking it would cease to flow ? Onward must it flow for ever ; Better teach it where to go.
Sayfa 204 - I wore the badge of motherhood, I did not kiss more oft and tenderly The little child that brought me only good. And if some night when you sit down to rest, You miss...
Sayfa 175 - It is in their larger endowment of this that the civilized races are superior to the savage. In supremacy of this consists one of the perfections of the ideal man. Not to be impulsive — not to be spurred hither and thither by each desire...
Sayfa 177 - ... transition, we must expect to find sundry phenomena which are explicable only upon the hypothesis that humanity is, at present, partially adapted to both these states, and not completely to either — has only, in a degree, lost the dispositions needed for savage life, and has but imperfectly acquired those needed for social life. The anomaly just specified, is one of these. The tendency of each new generation, to develop itself wrongly, indicates the degree of modification that has yet to take...
Sayfa 174 - Do but gain a boy's trust ; convince him by your behaviour that you have his happiness at heart ; let him discover that you are the wiser of the two ; let him experience the benefits of following your advice, and the evils that arise from disregarding it ; and fear not you will readily enough guide him.
