Additional quotes by Anne Brontë

I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself.

If you would have your son to walk honorably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.

If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.

There's nothing like active employment to console the afflicted. - Anne Brontë
