If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.

There are great books in this world and great worlds in books.

I was not really angry: I felt for him all the time, and longed to be reconciled but I determined he should make the first advances, or at least show some signs of an humble and contrite spirit, first for, if I began, it would only minister to his self-conceit, increase his arrogance, and quite destroy the lesson I wanted to give him.
