A little girl loves her bird--Why? Because it lives and feels because it is helpless and harmless?

Anne Bronte
Image
No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.
Anne Bronte

Such humble talents as God had given me I will endeavour to put to their greatest use if I am able to amuse, I will try to benefit too and when I fell it my duty to speak unpalatable truth, with the help of God, I will speak it, through it be to the prejudice of my name and to the detriment of my reader's immediate pleasure as well as my own.
