"There are two kinds of experience, a sad and a pleasant, the latter brings peace and happiness, tending to lift one higher and higher; the other is not one of pleasure but may be the means of producing both pleasure and happiness by the dear lessons learned. It may be strange to say that sad experience is far more profitable as an educator than a pleasant one, yet there are many living examples to prove this statement"
