"Men are respectable only as they respect...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We read often with as much talent as we write.”

“The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.”

“Five minutes of today are worth as much to me, as five minutes in the next millennium.Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.”

“Now I've a sheep and a cow, every body bids me good morrow.”

“Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.”

“We've got to make sure that teachers are respected, that they are rewarded, that young people like yourself who have talent and want to work with people, that you're able to support yourself and live out a great life being a teacher.”

“And once we have given our community a good start,' I pointed out, ' the process will be cumulative. By maintaining a sound system of education you produce citizens of good character, and citizens of sound character, with the advantage of a good education, produce in turn children better than themselves and better able to produce still better children in their turn, as can be seen with animals.”

“The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.”

“Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.”
