Side 235 - I soon see that the sentiments of love, trust, gratitude, and obedience must first exist in my heart before I can feel them for God. I must love men, trust them, thank them, and obey them, before I can rise to loving, thanking, trusting, and obeying God. ' For he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how shall he love his Father in heaven, whom he hath not seen?

Side 154 - I was with them in sickness, and in health, and when they slept. I was the last to go to bed, and the first to get up.

Their clothes and bodies were intolerably filthy, but I looked after both myself, and was thus constantly exposed to the risk of contagion. " This is how it was that these children gradually became so attached to me, some indeed so deeply that they contradicted their parents and friends...
Side 123 - In his speeches, in his explanations of his views, and especially in his fables, he is constantly comparing the education of man, even from the intellectual and moral point of view, to the development and growth of a plant.
