“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered yes—remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education—make a boy observe, induce him to be patient, and let him learn to notice everything in nature, and I will have laid the foundation for an excellent man.”

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”
