“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 ... Let nature teach them the lessons of good and proper living, combined with an abundance of well-balanced nourishment. Those children will grow to be the best men and women. Put the best in them by contact with the best outside. They will absorb it as a plant absorbs the sunshine and the dew.” IfsMenGivingWellsChildrenSoulGrowsWalksTeachJourneySweetWalkingDrinkLessonsPureMen And WomenPlantContactWanderPleasantAbundanceBeing The BestSunshineHikingBalancedSurroundingsDewNourishmentTrekkingStrollingSaunteringDogmatic Author:Luther Burbank
