From Chapter 12 of School Education:
In the moral training of children arbitrary action almost always produces revolt. Parents believe that they are doing well to rule their households, without considering the pattern, the principles, and the limitations of parental authority.
…that most delicate and beautiful of human possessions, an educated conscience, comes only by teaching with authority and adorning by example.
I love the quote, and the phrase “adorning by example.” Such a good thing to put into practice.
