Summary

In this quote from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," Harry Potter's son, Albus Severus, expresses his fear of being sorted into Slytherin house. Harry, understanding his son's concern, reassures him by sharing a personal insight. Harry tells Albus that he named him after two headmasters of Hogwarts, one of whom was a Slytherin and was also incredibly brave. The quote suggests that bravery can transcend house loyalties and that being sorted into Slytherin does not automatically make someone a bad or cowardly person.

The nuns taught us there are two ways through life, the way of Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries.Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.
