Página 18 - It is less important to keep him from dying than it is to teach him how to live. To live is not merely to breathe, it is to act. It is to make use of our organs, of our senses, of our faculties, of all the powers which bear witness to us of our own existence.
Página 108 - ... as it is not within the capacity, of a child. Nature requires children to be children before they are men. By endeavouring to pervert this order, we produce forward fruits, that have neither maturity nor taste, and will not fail soon to wither or corrupt. Hence it is we have so many young professors and old children. Childhood hath its manner of seeing, perceiving, and thinking, peculiar to itself; nor is there any thing more absurd than our being anxious to substitute our own in its stead.
Página 101 - Excessive severity, as well as excessive indulgence, should be equally avoided. If you leave children to suffer, you expose their health, endanger their lives, and make them actually miserable; on the other hand, if you are too anxious to prevent their being sensible of any kind of pain and inconvenience, you only pave their way to feel much greater; you enervate their constitutions, make them tender and effeminate; in a word, you remove them out of their situation as men, into which they must hereafter...
Página 114 - May I venture here to lay down the greatest, most important, and most useful rule of education? It is this, Not to gain time, but to lose it. The generality of readers will be so good as to excuse my paradoxes; there is an absolute necessity for them in making reflections: and, say what you will, I had rather be remarkable for hunting after a paradox, than for being misled by prejudice.
Página 10 - All that we are not possessed of at our birth, and which we require when grown up, is bestowed on us by education. This education we receive from nature, from men, or from circumstances. The constitutional exertion of our organs and faculties is the education of nature ; the uses we are taught to make of that exertion constitute the education given us by men ; and in the acquisitions made by our own experience, on the objects that surround us, consists our education from circumstances.
Página 156 - Held in his beak a cheefe. What kind of a cheefe? Was it a Swifs, or a Dutch cheefe ? If a child has never feen ravens, what can you get by talking to him about them : and if he has feen them, how will he conceive they could hold whole cheefes in their beaks ? Let our defcriptions be ever agreeable to nature.
Página 266 - Jie cannot comprehend in what manner the fun proceeds from its jetting to its rifing, he knows at leaft how it proceeds from its rifing to its fetting : he hath ocular information of this. Explain the firft queftion, then, by the fecond ; and if your pupil be not extremely dull indeed, the analogy is too obvious to efcape him. Such is our firft lecture in cofmography.
Página 164 - ... afterwards, but then it is too late to obey the summons. How ardently must he wish on such an occasion to be able to read himself! He receives others, equally short and interesting: he sets immediately about deciphering them; sometimes receiving assistance, and at others denied it. By dint of study, he at length hammers out that he is invited to go to-morrow to eat cream; but where or with whom he cannot discover. How many efforts will he not make to find out the rest: fimile will learn to read...
Página 154 - By such means, also, it is, that we should endeavour to form that magazine of knowledge which should serve for his education in youth, and to regulate his conduct afterwards. This method, it is true, is not productive of little prodigies of learning, nor does it tend to...
Página 115 - It consists, neither in teaching virtue nor truth; but in guarding the heart from vice, and the mind from error.
