“Love of goodness without love of learning degenerates into simple-mindedness. Love of knowledge without love of learning degenerates into utter lack of principle. Love of faithfulness without love of learning degenerates into injurious disregard of consequences. Love of uprightness without love of learning degenerates into harshness. Love of courage without love of learning degenerates into insubordination. Love of strong character without love of learning degenerates into mere recklessness.”

“To acknowledge our faults when we are blamed, is modesty; to discover them to one's friends in ingenuousness, is confidence; but to preach them to all the world, if one does not take care, is pride.”

“To prefer it is better than to only know it. To delight in it is better than merely to prefer it.”

“This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.”

“The first step to getting what you want is to have the courage to get rid of what you don't.”

“Do what you fear and your fear will die.”

“Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.”

“Wisdom is worried for being slow in its speech and expeditious in its actions.”

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.”
