Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thoughts on Humane Education: Suggestions on Kindness to Animals and Notes on Their Habits and Usefulness The really great are ever gentle and kind, and the greatest are the kindest and most gentle. Cruelty and indifference to the feelings of ones fellows or of any sentient beings are marks of coarseness of nature; or want of proper instruction and training. Fineness of fibre, inherited or acquired, in man or woman, as in woods and textiles and cordage, is a sure element of strength. Thoughtfulness of the feelings and interests and welfare of others comes chiefly from careful instruction and training in childhood and youth. Learning to think and care for the welfare of wild and domestic animals makes one more thoughtful and careful of the feelings and welfare of men, women and children. When we read the story of Captain Robert E. Lee, stopping in the midst of a battle of the Mexican War to place a young and unfledged birdling back in the nest from which it had fallen, we know that General Lee, commanding the armies of the Confederate States, will be thoughtful of the welfare of his own men and guiltless of cruelty to his enemies, and that he will win the love and respect of both. The story of his education furnishes the key to his character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
