Parents should do all but impoverish themselves, to induce such to become the guardians and guides of their children.
Página 88 - An hour of solitude passed in sincere and earnest prayer, or the conflict with, and conquest over a single passion or ' subtle bosom sin,' will teach us more of thought, will more effectually awaken the faculty, and form the habit, of reflection, than a year's study in the Schools without them.
Página 78 - ... the facts in his memory in a way that no mere information heard from a teacher, or read in a school-book, can be registered. Even if he fails, the tension to which his faculties have been wound up insures his remembrance of the solution when given to him, better than half a dozen repetitions would. Observe again, that this discipline necessitates a continuous •organization of the knowledge he acquires. It is in the very nature of facts and inferences, assimilated in this normal manner, that...
