Quotations for instructions

The seeds of first instructions are dropped into the deepest furrows. [ Tupper ]

God's corrections are our instructions; His lashes our lessons, and His scourges our schoolmasters. [ Aughey ]

The instructions received at the mother's knee and the maternal lessons, together with the pious and sweet souvenirs of the fireside, are never effaced entirely from the soul. [ Lamennais ]

O mothers! reflect upon the power that your Maker has placed in your hands; there is no earthly influence to be compared with yours; there is no combination of causes so powerful in promoting the happiness or misery of our race, as the instructions of home! [ J. S. C. Abbott ]
