Quote★★★★

We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. —SWETCHINE

The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself. —ANONYMOUS

One sickly sheep infects the flock, And weakens all the rest. —UNKNOWN

The deeds we do, the words we say — Into still air they seem to fleet, We count them ever past; But they shall last — In the dread judgment they And we shall meet! I charge thee by the years gone by, For the love’s sake of brethren dear, Keep thou the one true way, In work and play, Lest in that world their cry Of woe thou hear.
