Brine Treatment

Famous quotes containing the words brine and/or treatment:

    “She’s somebody’s mother, boys, you know,
    For all she’s aged and poor and slow,

    “And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
    To help my mother, you understand,

    “If ever she’s poor and old and gray,
    When her own dear boy is far away.”
    —Mary Dow Brine (1816–1913)

    [17th-century] Puritans were the first modern parents. Like many of us, they looked on their treatment of children as a test of their own self-control. Their goal was not to simply to ensure the child’s duty to the family, but to help him or her make personal, individual commitments. They were the first authors to state that children must obey God rather than parents, in case of a clear conflict.
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)
