God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.
Henry Ward BeecherMan is at the bottom an animal, midway a citizen, and at the top divine. But the climate of this world is such that few ripen at the top.
