“As my own father was sick, and miserably tied to his invalid's chair, he would have been abandoned had not an old servant performed for him a so-called service of love.

“Be ever gentle with the children God has given you; watch over them constantly; reprove them earnestly, but not in anger. In the forcible language of Scripture, "Be not bitter against them." "Yes, they are good boys," I once heard a kind father say. "I talk to them very much, but do not like to beat my, children--the world will beat them." It was a beautiful thought not elegantly expressed.” WorldKindChildrenBeautifulFatherLanguageGivenBoysWatchesHeardBeatsScriptureBitterGentleMy ChildrenGood BoyBeautiful Thoughts Author:Elihu Burritt

“Among Negroes of my generation there was not only little direct acquaintance or consciously inherited knowledge of Africa, but much distaste and recoil because of what the white world taught them about the Dark Continent. There arose resentment that a group like ours, born and bred in the United States for centuries, should be regarded as Africans at all. They were, as most of them began gradually to assert, Americans. My father's father was particularly bitter about this. He would not accept an invitation to a 'Negro' picnic. He would not segregate himself in any way.” WorldWayShouldLittlesStatesFatherBornDarkWhiteUnitedAcceptingUnited StatesGenerationsGroupsCenturyTaughtDirectBitterResentmentContinentsAcquaintanceInvitationsMy GenerationPicnicsDistasteRecoil Author:W.
