For if my heart has been torn by pain I have been granted the opportunity to pardon, and to go on loving when my self-love was trampled in the dust. Yes, I have been able, am able to do this. I have kept my word--have held to the resolution I formed early in my youth, to forgive those who took from me my all. I dare to hope there is no injury ( I have already had the sharpest injuries) which could be inflicted upon me that I could not with my whole heart forgive in the very moment of its infliction. Even in such a moment I can still love.</p> <p>May the base and repulsive feeling of hatred remain forever unknown to me. To practice self-denial is to behold God. For this self-denial I shall continuously strive and I will practice it in those little things where we are helped by no enthusiasm for the high and good."</p> <p><b>Baroness Bertha Marie von Marenholtz-Buelow</b>, Froebels greatest proponent.</p> <h5 class=nav>. <a href="webindex.html">index</a> . <a href="webline.html">time line</a> . <a href="forum/">forum</a> . <a href="websurf.html">surf</a> . <a href="shop/">shop</a> . <a href="weblinks.html">links</a></h5> </td></tr></table> <p align=center><small>Copyright © 1998-2002 Froebel Web All Rights Reserved. <strong><a href="mailto:info@froebelweb.com?Subject=timeline">info@froebelweb.com</a></strong></small></p> <br></body> </html>
