"There are many such boys and girls,
full of high hopes, lovely possibilities, and earnest plans,
pausing a moment before they push
their little boats from the safe shore. Let those who launch
them see to it that they have good health to man the oars, good education for ballast, and good principles as pilots to guide them as
they voyage down an ever winding river to the sea."
Louisa May Alcott
Jack and Jill
