Quote by Bible

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself

Summary

This quote from Proverbs 29:15 highlights the importance of discipline and guidance in shaping a child's behavior and character. The "rod and reproof" symbolize parental discipline, correction, and teachings, which help the child develop wisdom and understanding. On the other hand, if a child is neglected or allowed to do as they please without guidance, their behavior can lead to negative consequences, embarrassment, and shame for their mother or caregiver. Therefore, effective parenting involves a balance of discipline, guidance, and teaching to ensure the child's proper development and avoid potential problems.

Largely this is a class thing - writers tend to be cosseted little middle-class kiddies who think that the world owes them a royalty cheque. But just doing it - being in your room for years on end, locked in your head, alone with invented ghosts - it weakens and softens the body. And I know I can't just live in my head.

In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book

In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.
