Parkhurst Boys

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
9/10

Sometimes it may lead to actions which do real injury to another, but injury is rarely intended.
It is stupidity more than anything else.

But there is a point at which unoriginality may become a sin.

Every boy has in him the power to say "Yes" or "No," and he has also the conscience in him which tells him when he ought to say the one or the other.

After all, most of us are medium sort of fellows.
