Summary

This quote reflects the idea that individuality and freedom of expression are valued by the speaker's mother. By discontinuing the speaker's participation in being a "brownie" (which generally refers to a member of the Girl Scouts at a young age), the mother promotes the importance of nonconformity and encourages her child to think independently rather than adhering to societal norms. It suggests that the mother prioritizes her child's individuality and self-discovery over conforming to predetermined roles or expectations.

The man who, to rescue his house from the flames, finds his physical strength redoubled, so that he lifts burdens with ease which in the absence of excitement he could scarcely move; he who under the rage of an insult attacks and puts to flight half a score of his enemies, are such persons to be called weak? My good friend, if resistance be strength, how can the highest degree of resistance be a weakness?
