Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.

Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell

Summary

This quote suggests that death is a necessary part of life's cycle. Just as a flower drops to make way for the fruit to grow and ripen, death is seen as a natural process that allows for new life and growth to occur. It reminds us that in order for something new and meaningful to come into existence, something else must come to an end. Ultimately, the quote conveys the idea that death is not a finality, but rather a transformative stage that leads to the continuation and evolution of life.

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothin

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or a woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he (or she) sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.
