“The precept, "Know yourself," was not solely intended to obviate the pride of mankind; but likewise that we might understand our own worth.”

“If wisdom be attainable, let us not only win but enjoy it.”

“Words, English words, are full of echoes, of memories, of associations. They have been out and about, on people's lips, in their houses, in the streets, in the fields, for so many centuries.

“There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased, The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured.”

“A school should not be a preparation for life. A school should be life.”

“Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself”

“Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.”
