|  His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind. | | A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine. | | She was trusted and valued by her father, loved and courted by all dogs, cats, children, and poor people, and slighted and neglected by everybody else. | | I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself . | | But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose. | | Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow; My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe. | | There is always a "but" in this imperfect world. | | 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. |
