--ADDISON.
Children, honor your parents in your hearts; bear them not only awe
and respect, but kindness and affection: love their persons, fear to
do anything that may justly provoke them; highly esteem them as the
instruments under God of your being: for "Ye shall fear every man his
mother and his father."--JEREMY TAYLOR.
Next to God, thy parents.--WILLIAM PENN.
Whoever makes his father's heart to bleed,
Shall have a child that will revenge the deed.
--RANDOLPH.
How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is
like the aged man reclining under the shadow of the oak which he has
planted.--SCOT'S MAGAZINE.
With joy the parent loves to trace
Resemblance in his children's face:
And, as he forms their docile youth
To walk the steady paths of truth,
Observes them shooting into men,
And lives in them life o'er again.
--LLOYD.
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.--EXODUS 20:12.
PASSION.--The passions are the gales of life; and it is religion only
that can prevent them from rising into a tempest.--DR. WATTS.
Strong as our passions are, they may be starved into submission, and
conquered without being killed.--COLTON.
The ruling passion, be it what it will,
The ruling passion conquers reason still.
--POPE.
