It is all very well to talk about noble resistance, and trials of virtue; but for fifty—or five hundred men that have yielded to temptation, shew me one that has had virtue to resist. And why should I take it for granted that my son will be one in a thousand?—and not rather prepare for the worst, and suppose he will be like his——like the rest of mankind, unless I take care to prevent it?
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848), Chapter 3
