Famous quotes containing the words john and/or bryant:

    “Reprehension is a kind of middle thing betwixt admonition and correction: it is sharpe admonition, but a milde correction. It is rather to be used because it may be a meanes to prevent strokes and blowes, especially in ingenuous and good natured children. [Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.”
    —William Gouge, Puritan writer. As quoted in The Rise and Fall of Childhood by C. John Sommerville, ch. 11 (rev. 1990)

    “All that tread,
    The globe are but a handful to the tribes,
    That slumber in its bosom.”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
