The Noblest Influence: Shaping Character at Home

THE noblest influence on earth is that exerted on character; and he who puts forth this does a great work, no matter how narrow or contracted his sphere. The father and mother of an unnoticed family, who, in their seclusion, awaken the mind of one child to the idea of love and perfect goodness, who awaken in him a strength of will to repel all temptation, and to send him out prepared to profit by the conflict of life, surpass, in influence, a Napoleon breaking the world to his sway.
