Quotes About Chastens

Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament.It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.
~ Joseph Addison
We know that Heaven chastens those whom it loves best; being pleased by repeated trials, to make . . . pure spirits more pure.
~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Be calm when your wife yells at you, calmer when she chastens you, but be terrified when she ignores you.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
