Rod - Spare the rod, spoil the child

Postby dreams » Mon Nov 10, 2003 10:19 pm

Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.

Samuel Butler, Hudibras, Part II, 1664.
