The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
From Plutarch
What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.
Let us carefully observe those good qualities wherein our enemies excel us; and endeavor to excel them, by avoiding what is faulty, and imitating what is excellent in them.
Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
To find fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.
