Sayfa 199 - 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 202 - 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 202 - 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...
Sayfa 165 - has freedom to do all that he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other...
Sayfa 190 - 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 203 - And hear it patter in my house once more ; If I could mend a broken cart to-day, To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky, There is no woman in God's world could say She was more blissfully content than I. But ah ! the dainty pillow next my own Is never rumpled by a shining head ; My singing birdling from its nest is flown ; The little boy I used to kiss is dead.
Sayfa 202 - 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 168 - Education has for its object the formation of character. To curb restive propensities, to awaken dormant sentiments, to strengthen the perceptions and cultivate the tastes, to encourage this feeling and repress that, so as finally to develop the child into a man of well-proportioned and harmonious nature — this is alike the aim of parent and teacher.
Sayfa 173 - 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 172 - 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.
