| �The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.�
�The secret of the education is respecting the pupil.� �The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.� �The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education.� �The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops but the kind of man that the country turns out.� �There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide.� �Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.� �Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm.� �Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.� �To believe your own thought, to believe what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men--that is genius.� �Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.� �We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.� �What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny compared to what lies within us.� �Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.� �When it is dark enough you can see the stars.� �Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.� �Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.� |
