Note 236 — Chapter XIX · THE SUCCESSORS OF PESTALOZZI.—FRŒBEL AND THE PÈRE GIRARD.
William Harold Payne translation
“Man owes his growth, his energy, chiefly to that striving of the will, that conflict with difficulty, which we call effort. Easy, pleasant work does not make robust minds, does not give men a consciousness of their powers, does not train them to endurance, to perseverance, to steady force of will, that force without which all other acquisitions avail nothing.” Dr. Channing.
