Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.
From Horace Mann
It is well to think well; it is divine to act well.
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them.
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.
Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.
If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.
