What we gave, we have; What we spent, we had; What we left, we lost.
From Tryon Edwards
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher or better than themselves.
Mystery is but another name for ignorance; if we were omniscient, all would be perfectly plain!
The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.
To be good, we must do good; and by doing good we take a sure means of being good, as the use and exercise of the muscles increase their power.
