Leopoldine: Sunday’s child: Zitat 1

After making a thorough study of the child’s character, one must begin by trying to educate it in accordance with its own tendencies, but it is most important to gain the child's trust, to encourage it to be honest and open, and to instil in it a revulsion for lying, duplicity, deceit and gossip. One must teach it the only passion which it must have, a passion for humanity, for compassion and for the desire to make the people happy.
