To waken interest and kindle enthusiasm is the sure way to teach easily and successfully.
From Tryon Edwards
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.
We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.
Accuracy of statement is one of the first elements of truth; inaccuracy is a near kin to falsehood.
Facts are God's arguments; we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
To rule one's anger is well; to prevent it is better.
To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.
Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
