35. Forgive the Children!

When your child confesses to you that it has com mitted a fault, take

the child in your arms, and let it feel your heart beat against its

heart, and raise your children in the sunlight of love, and they will be

sunbeams to you along the pathway of life. Abolish the club and the whip

from the house, because, if the civilized use a whip, the ignorant and

the brutal will use a club, and they will use it because you use the

whip.
