“Let us protect our children; and let us not allow them to grow up into emptiness and nothingness, to the avoidance of good hard work, to introspection and analysis without deeds, or to mechanical actions without thought and consideration. Let us steer them away from the harmful chase after material things and the damaging passion for distractions... Let us educate them to stand with their feet rooted in God's earth, but with their heads reaching even into heaven, there to behold truth.” ChildrenHardActionEarthPassionHeavenGrowsGrowing UpFeetMaterialsHard WorkProtectOur ChildrenEnvironmentalDeedsAnalysisEmptinessReachingConsiderationDistractionEducateSustainabilityRootedNothingnessIntrospectionAvoidanceSteersMaterial Things Author:Friedrich Frobel
