Douglas William Jerrold Children Quotations

Virtue is a beautiful thing in woman when they don't go about with it like a child with a drum making all sorts of noise with it.

A creature undefiled by the taint of the world, unvexed by its injustice, unwearied by its hollow pleasures; a being fresh from the source of light, with something of its universal lustre in it. If childhood be this, how holy the duty to see that in its onward growth it shall be no other!
