Injustice and Children from Great Expectations

I came across this quote recently from Charles Dickens.  It is a good reminder to take care around the little ones, lest they be offended.

"In the little world in which children have their existence whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice. It may be only small injustice that the child can be exposed to; but the child is small, and its world is small, and its rocking-horse stands as many hands high, according to scale, as a big-boned Irish hunter."
Great Expectations
Chapter 8.
