When They Were Children: Stories of the Childhood of Famous Men and Women (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from When They Were Children: Stories of the Childhood of Famous Men and Women

So whenever it is possible it is well to consider the time of preparation as well as to admire the finished work, and we shall learn to know these great men and women all the better for hearing something of what they thought and did when they were children.

Souls are built as temples are Sunken deep, unseen, unknown, Lies the sure foundation stone; Then the courses framed to bear Lift the Cloisters, pillared fair; Last of all the airy spire, Soaring Heavenward, higher and higher, Nearest sun and nearest star.
