Children Quote by J.C. Ryle

“See, again, my beloved children, how foolish it is to expect perfect happiness in this world. It is expecting what you will not find. This world is a place where there is much "crying," and where things do not always go on pleasantly. I hear many boys and girls talking of pleasures they will have…” quote by J.C. Ryle

““See, again, my beloved children, how foolish it is to expect perfect happiness in this world. It is expecting what you will not find. This world is a place where there is much "crying," and where things do not always go on pleasantly. I hear many boys and girls talking of pleasures they will have when they are grown men and women. I am sorry for them when I hear them talking in this way. I know they are mistaken. I know they will be disappointed. They will find when they grow up, that they cannot get through the world without many troubles and cares. There are no roses without thorns. There are no years—without dark and rainy days. There is no living on earth—without "crying" and tears!””
