Anne Bronte
Life and hope must cease together.
Anne Bronte
All our talents increase in the using, and every faculty, both good and bad, strengthens by exercise.
Anne Bronte
If ever I am a mother I will zealously strive against this crime of over- indulgence. I can hardly give it a milder name when I think of the evils it brings.
Anne Bronte
But, God knows best, I concluded.
Anne Bronte
If you would have a boy to despise his mother, let her keep him at home, and spend her life in petting him up, and slaving to indulge his follies and caprices.
Anne Bronte
