"The dutifulness of children is the foundation..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Any man may make a mistake; none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says.”

“The master sometimes serves, and the servant sometimes is master.”

“Pleasant is the recollection of dangers past.”

“If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.”

“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.”

“I only wish, while I am a servant of the public, to know the will of my masters, that I may govern my self accordingly.”

“If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.”

“We must live our lives in such a way that our children, and their children after them, will form a natural and lasting commitment to the vigorous life. Only in this way can we be assured that the spirit and strength of America will be constantly replenished.”

“If we would have our citizens contented and law-abiding, we must not sow the seeds of discontent in childhood by denying children their birthright of play.”
