Quote by Bertrand Russell

There is no greater reason for children to honour parents than for parents to honour children except, that while the children are young, the parents are stronger than children.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of honoring both parents and children in the context of a family dynamic. It suggests that children should honor their parents because parents have a higher level of strength and authority while the children are still young. This implies that as children grow older and gain more independence, the balance of power shifts, and parents should also honor and respect their children. Ultimately, it emphasizes the reciprocal nature of respecting and honoring family members at different stages of life.

In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.

Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make

Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some goods in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
