“Do not feed children on a maudlin sentimentalism or dogmatic religion; give them nature. Let their souls drink in all that is pure and sweet. Rear them, if possible, amid pleasant surroundings ...

Put the best in them by contact with the best outside. They will absorb it as a plant absorbs the sunshine and the dew.”
